Tell the guest to provide multiple desktops when the host has multiple desktops, so things like twin monitors work nicely with guests. Relay EDID/Xrandr information and updates from host to guest, and generally handle hotplugging host monitors nicely. Are there any real hardware standards worth emulating which do that? -- Jamie -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
