Hi Diederik, As you can see from the Ben's message, the only question is whether the buffer should be increased to 4k or 8k. I tested and 4k was big enough for the Xen virtual keyboard, but Ben also though that the "correct" value to increase it to might be 8k, which matches a buffer size in udev. So we should work out that question before submitting upstream, don't you think? Best regards, Chuck
