RE: [Qemu-devel] Current state of RFB patch

[Andreas Bollhalder]

Hola

I have successfully testet the rfb10 patch on Mandrake 10.0 with the
current build of QEMU. It's that great, to start any guest OS using a
GUI on a Linux with only a CLI ;-) That's a big thing. As known, the
mouse behavior is a little bit odd. I use the de-ch keymap, it needs
some research for having the whole swiss german keyboard function
correctly.

Many thanks to all helping on this project.

Andreas
