There are two versions, the first one only has libvnc support for VBoxHeadless, without keyboard layouts in mind. The second one adds support for i18n by using /usr/share/syscons/keymaps. By using it you may avoid all the x11+qt4 stuff vbox forces you to install. But I think this is not a good idea, because if you fall into problems, been able to export display could save you from problems. So I'd leave X11 support on in any case. I'm using the former vnc patch it in a semi-production virtualitzation server I have at work and it performs well (no problems during a month of uptime). I'm trying the i18n patch in my laptop without problems. Best regards, Gus -- PGP KEY : http://www-entel.upc.edu/gus/gus.asc
