Hello all,
This are the latest version of the patches.
Lots of things have changed since the last submission. A few of
which I remember:
- VNC copy / paste works* (* conditions apply)
- client vnc copies get propagated to guest port 3 (/dev/vmch3)
- guest writes to port 3 (/dev/vmch3) go straight to client's clipboard
Why 3?
Where's the guest application that drives the copy/paste?
I expect the first problem you'll run into is that copy/paste daemon has
to run as an unprivileged user but /dev/vmch3 is going to be owned by
root. You could set udev rules for /dev/vmch3 but that's pretty
terrible IMHO.
I think you'll find that you need a root daemon that talks to vmchannel
and then allows unprivileged connections over a unix socket device. In
that case, why even bother having multiple channels since your daemon
can multiplex..

Anthony Liguori
