Description Corentin Chary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

QEMU 0.13 have a new threaded VNC server.

If you build qemu with --enable-vnc-thread, the queue will be threaded and (hopefully) send_framebuffer_update() won't block the guest execution anymore. You will still be able to use a synchroneous queue (current behavior) with --disable-vnc-thread.

I suggest adding a new useflag named vnc-thread to enable this feature. It should be disabled by default, this will probably be enabled by default in 0.14.

Thanks,

Reproducible: Always
