Mike - thanks for those comments. I would be reluctant to run it without the tablet setting (I had to when I was playing with my TeX scripts in FreeBSD, and it was really awkward), but in fact there is now no need. Before I read your mail I had tried moving all the tablet parameters to the end of my script, only to get the same error about the keymap (I had started by wondering if a parameter was being swallowed, causing things to get out of kilter, because I had seen that while I was ironing-out my script). That setting had been there since I started using qemu, but to be honest it was not giving me a lot - in distro iso files I got whatever they supplied, and I always adjusted installed systems to use a suitable keymap. So the keymap error looks to be new when running the 3.19 kernel (previous attempts were in 3.19-rc6 or 3.19-rc7) and I installed 3.19.0 before yesterday's testing. Looks like a kernel change, but I hesitate to describe it as a regression because it never really did anything useful for me. And with the full addition including -display sdl, I've got my mouse cursor back. ;-) Thanks again, I don't know why those options have suddenly become required (some of the links were quite old), maybe it is another change rather than Xorg. [ /me looks at git blame for my qemu version : that changed to 2.2.0 in January. And I suppose that my other qemu tests in this build were only for server packages. ] The joys of testing when multiple components have changed ;-) Cheers. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
