[Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH]some vnc enhancement

[Anthony Liguori]

Hi Xiaowei,

Fabrice had mentioned some interest in refactoring some of the SDL code 
so that the VC switching was shared between VNC/SDL.  Not sure quite 
what he was thinking so hopefully he'll chime in.

The only issue I see in the patch is that you're using the XK_ symbols.  
I purposefully didn't rely on those since they aren't available on Win32 
and the VNC spec is suggests that the actual value of these symbols can 
vary greatly on different platforms (especially the control keys).

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
