For Qemu 2.0.x ASCII lines too. For Qemu 2.5.0 I've seen this only for non-english characters, such as french ç, spanish ñ, etc. El 01/02/17 a les 19:27, Vincenzo Romano ha escrit: > Which characters? > > Il 01 feb 2017 18:58, "Narcis Garcia"

"screen" can help you in the guest to manage several terminal sessions in a single window, but I don't know if it can be dealt both host screen keyboard shortcuts. El 01/02/17 a les 17:00, Vincenzo Romano ha escrit: > 2017-02-01 12:27 GMT+01:00 Narcis Garcia : >> screen

Okay, solved for the keyboard part of the question, still not for the characters representation. Thanks. El 01/02/17 a les 18:15, Vincenzo Romano ha escrit: > Which characters don't match? > Have you tried the proper -k option? > -- > Vincenzo Romano - NotOrAnd.IT > Information Technologies >

2017-02-01 Thread Narcis Garcia
I don't know if it's a SeaBIOS problem but, when I use -ncurses (tried with Qemu 2.5.0 and Qemu 2.0.0), only letters and numbers match from keyboard to guest, and not all ASCII characters are well represented. Is there some configuration or workaround to not having these key problems? Thanks.

Qemu will provide some graphics adaptor to guest anyway. If you don't specify one, Qemu will use whatever default is for your version. I use "-vga qxl" with the hope it's the less resources consuming if guest is not asking much. I've tried this now and a resolution is proposed by Qemu when guest
