Comment 1 Sergei LITVINENKO 2009-04-11 17:04:21 UTC

in original version kvm-84.tar.gz there is the same problem.

Comment 2 Mark McLoughlin 2009-04-19 10:26:17 UTC

Sergei: is this also reproducible if you do?

  $> qemu-kvm -localtime -hda centos-5.img -boot c -vnc localhost:0
  $> vncviewer localhost

if not, then the bug is specific to the SDL backend

Comment 3 Sergei LITVINENKO 2009-04-20 13:10:15 UTC

Bug is resolved after some updates. I do not found this problem in qemu-0.10-8.fc11. Current version of SDL is:

[root@homedesk download]# rpm -qa | grep SDL
SDL-1.2.13-9.fc11.i586
SDL_image-1.2.6-7.fc11.i586
SDL_mixer-1.2.8-12.fc11.i586
SDL-devel-1.2.13-9.fc11.i586


PS: I think, this bug report should be closed

Thanks Sergei
