It is a shame that vncrobot is closed source as it has some really nice features. > The testing of our images is available on (for example): > http://mirror.sim.ul.pt/paipix/paipix-en-amd64-8.5.25-tests/ > (see http://mirror.sim.ul.pt/paipix/ for other images) The tests look really comprehensive.

Agreed, the more testing methods the better, always good to make sure the test tools work.

This was I problem I had with Autotesting. The vncserver within qemu was problematic. I used vncserver with a large resolution with qemu runing within it as _full screen_. Therefore the main vncserver remains a fixed resolution whilst booting. A large resolution is needed to avoid qemu SDL errors when (As far as I can tell) the qemu resolution changes and qemu wants to exceed to the resolution of the xserver qemu is running on. The code maybe explains this better.[1] 1: http://tiny.cc/gitAutotesting > 3) Letters in other languages and extended keys are not well supported and > have to be sent to the vnc server using special tricks. I used the qemu sendkey command. sendkey #0x33 sendkey ctrl-alt-f1 By using a telnet interface to the "- -monitor telnet:127.0.0.1:4444" and well as echo "sendkey $KEY" | socat - TCP4:127.0.0.1:4444 > I can send the full list of scripts and tools that I am using if any of you > is interested. I might have a look at the install to hardrive scripts used.

Always interesting to see how other are looking at the same problem.
