Some smaller quirks I stumbled over so far: - text consoles use an inferior font compared to SDL (ideally, that one should also be used for GTK) - text consoles in unscaled mode do not use their fixed default size but the one the guest display is using - switching between graphical and and text consoles quickly messes the scaling of the guest display up - pressing ALT+menukey sends the ALT-down event to the guest, but not some ALT-up, leaving the guest keyboard in a confusing state If you have any ideas on how to address some of the issue, let me know, I can try to look into them. But I would also test patches. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT RTC ITP SDP-DE Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux
