Yes, it is possible to make it work under Linux. There is a broadcom

The keybinding is probably not directly responsible for X restarting,
but more likely qemu's attempt to switch to fullscreen mode.
Is qemu the only app that restarts X when it tries to go full screen?

that I was going to run at 101 DPI at my native resolution. Easy, I
