It does this one more time, and then I'm sitting at the prompt This is a strange behavior. You're not forcing it into fullscreen mode, so why would X even blank out? It should be running in a window. Are you sure there is no other diagnostic? It's working fine for me (by "fine" I mean: it boots windows but there are some other minor bugs). I'm running -STABLE as of Fri Jul 21 15:01:12 CDT 2006. You're also running an old version of qemu. I have qemu-0.8.1_2. I'd first try upgrading and see if the problem persists. -- Rick C. Petty
