[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] [VNC] Make sure to avoid sign extension when reading u{8, 16, 32}

[Anthony Liguori]

Hopefully this will help with some of the keycode problems that have 
been reported.  Please let me know if this helps for you.

Thanks to Eduardo Felipe for spotting this.

Regards,

Anthony Liguori
