They all use the qemu terminal emulation and render the chars on a displaysurface. > It seems a bit odd to > me to have to use a different argument for the GTK UI. Why is this odd? gtk *is* different, it takes the character stream and sends them off to the terminal emulation widget. That allows to do stuff vc can't handle by design, for example placing vte in a new window instead of a tab so you can watch vga and serial console side-by-side. cheers, Gerd
