Thats exactly what I did, didn't work. Had to rename qemu to qemu_cvs 
first.That patch I decompressed had qemu_cvs in it.

That it does seem to be. Its probably worth mentioning that using qemu via 
remote xwindows/sdl is equally jerky. Hwoever the vnc client (when connected) 
is much better looking.

I use utltra vnc for a client usually, but tight vnc has the same problems. 
Both clients are under windows. The host os is Mandrake 10
