Multiple VNC client support for Xen qemu

Multiple VNC client support for Xen qemu

Hi,

I have been trying to create multiple connections to VNC in Xen qemu,
however it appears that additional connections are currently not accepted.

Looking through the qemu source and changesets, I noticed that the
functionality should be available in vanilla qemu since 0.10.0, but has not
been picked into the Xen qemu. The main changeset is 'Support multiple VNC
clients (Brian Kress)'
753b4053311ff1437d99726970b1e7e6bf38249b<http://git.qemu.org/qemu-stable-0.10.git/commit/?id=753b4053311ff1437d99726970b1e7e6bf38249b>however,
looking through the changeset list for the keyword 'vnc' there is
at least one subsequent fix for it
http://git.qemu.org/qemu-stable-0.10.git/log/?qt=grep&q=vnc

My question is whether someone be able to pick these into the Xen qemu to
enable simultaneous VNC. Unfortunately I do not have the experience to try
these merges myself.

We are currently working on merging qemu with upstream, so hopefully we
will able to get these improvement relatively soon.

Thank you. I had attempted to cherry-pick the individual change, but it was
not clean enough for me to debug myself. I will test the newly merged qemu
when it is available.
