I'm exploring QEMU Windows guests under Windows (XP Pro) host. I've
successfully installed W2000 Adv Server, BartPE as guests.
At some point, I've tried to launch and work with QEMU in a Remote
Desktop (terminal server, RDP) session. The result is the following:
- No crash. Both host and guest keep running.
But for the rest, it is not really usable because of the following
problems.
- Text mode display in the guest is displayed in the upper corner of
the host in the terminal client window. This regardless of where the
QEMU window is positionned on the screen. The same sometimes happens
with the graphical mode, but not always.
- The mouse does not behave properly in the QEMU window when QEMU has
grabbed the mouse.
The text mode display (while booting) problem could not be an issue.
The mouse problem renders the Window based unusable. The problem goes
beyond just positionning in the window: when I move the mouse, the
arrow inside the guest sometimes moves but not in a coordinated way.
It might cross the screen faster than the external mouse arrow but it
does not always move up when the mouse moves up. It would normally
stick in the upper left corner of the QEMU window.
I know QEMU for Windows is in alpha but does anyone have a clue on why
this happens and if it it can be fixed.
Try entering this on command line before running QEMU:
set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=*windib*
