When I use virt-manager to start the Windows XP virtual machine, the

Can you please try setting SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 before
starting kvm, something like this:

 $ SDL_VIDEO_ALLOW_SCREENSAVER=1 kvm ....

and see if it fixes the problem?

Thanks!

Thanks Michael. I actually found out what I was doing wrong with virt-manager (have to add myself to the libvirt group) so I'm using it again. I even removed my shortcut to the kvm command so I'd have to recreate it reasonable facsimile to do the test. I'll give it a try in the next day or two.

If kvm is using SDL, wouldn't that imply that the Gnome/x screensaver is also killed? Or do you have code to prevent that?
