Yea, those two, I'm not aware of anything else. > and what are the visible effects of > Gerd's console refactorings. Not much, for the most part it's internal cleanups, 1.6 will most likely bring some user-visible changes building on top of the cleanups. Most visible effect is probably that all the hops screendumping used to go through are gone. So taking a screendump doesn't switch consoles any more (you'll see that when typing the screendump command into a vc terminal with sdl). Also screendumpimg doesn't need special support from the gfx card emulation any more (which wasn't implemented by all gfx emulation). So screendumping works with all display hardware now. Also the screendump commands now properly throws an error in case there is no gfx hardware installed instead of silently doing nothing. Oh, and the threaded vnc server should finally be rock solid. display resize used to race with the vnc threads, leading to qemu crashing on mode switches now and then. The refactoring fixed that one too. cheers, Gerd
