Hi Jeremy,

 Some usage notes:
  - linux works nicely. Speed is an issue - I haven't done any
    benchmarking.
    Some keys are not working correctly, and I get messages from the at
    keyboard kernel driver in dmesg about them:

May 13 15:59:53 qxldrm kernel: [22857.328929] atkbd serio0: Unknown key released (translated set 2, code 0x6c on isa0060/serio0).
May 13 15:59:53 qxldrm kernel: [22857.328936] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes 6c <keycode>' to make it known.

  - windows vm works, but all the bitmaps are rendered upside down. Some
    not at the correct place. I know this is not a priority for you,
    just fyi. Mouse works fine. Speed is a major issue as well.
