Hi all,
I'm enjoying the new usb tablet device under windows 98. When the
"grabless" mode is enabled, I notice that the numlock keys can get out
of sync. Anyone else seeing this?
For instance, if I have numlock enabled and then start qemu with
tablet support, my win98 thinks numlock is off when I move the mouse
into the window (even though numlock LED is on). I have to toggle
numlock off (LED off) to get the win98 host to think numlock is on.
This is probably because numlock is not sent to the guest unless you are
in grab mode. You can still get into that mode by using ctrl-alt.
There's an interesting usability question here. What keys should be
passed to the guest? Should alt-tab be passed? Should
num-lock/caps-lock be passed? It would be pretty easy to hack up a
patch that grabbed the keyboard on mouse in and released it on mouse out
in grabless mode. The only question in my mind is would this be
acceptable from the users perspective?

Unrelated, I also have a general USB issue which makes me almost not
use it. If I run qemu without -usb option then an idle win98 guest
with linux host puts a load of about 5% on my 800Mhz processor. When
I run with -usb the idle is 60% minimum. Anyone have some suggestions
of were code could be optimized for idle periods?
Thanks for th great program!
Chris
