VBoxSDL on Linux framebuffer

[bsanyi]

Hi,

I'm trying to use VBox on an Ubuntu Linux notebook host without X (because of low memory) to
have different and portable Windows systems on it. VBoxSDL starts fine, but when I shut down
my guest system, the next funny error message freezes my system:

Code: Select all

Segmentation faultet SDL Window Manager info -- no Xcursor support!

I think VBoxSDL should not relay any information about the window manager, because SDL
is independent of X Window System... Does anyone have the same problem, or does anyone
know a solution to fix this?

Another problem with framebuffer based console is that VBoxSDL does not have a command
line option where I can select my keyboard layout. Programs using SDL usually have troubles with
the keyboard, for example qemu/kvm does the same wrong behavior, but kvm has a -k option,
and -k en-us solves this. Could You please add such a keyboard language specifier
option to VBoxSDL?

The video initialization/shutdown issue should be fixed in SVN. Regarding the keyboard layout: There is no such option in VBoxSDL. Sometimes --evdevkeymap might help.
