QEMU D-Bus display experiment

Introduction

WIP Rust crates to interact with a -display dbus QEMU. Some dependencies, such as RDW are also in development and unreleased.

Features

Depending on what the VM exposes & supports, various interfaces are implemented:

display, with optional DMABUF sharing
display resize
keyboard & mouse
serial terminals
QMP/HMP monitors
audio playback & recording
USB device redirection
clipboard sharing

Project organization

qemu-display

This crate provides simple D-Bus interfaces through zbus, and some basic abstractions.

qemu-rdw

This crate aims to provide Gtk+ 4 widget for a QEMU display, as well as dialogs/widgets for USB redirection and other options or features.

Currently it's a demo app (run by default with cargo run).

It is also based on a WIP crate "RDW" (Remote display/desktop widget) to provide a base widget for various remote display solutions (VNC, RDP, Spice etc).

qemu-vnc

A simple VNC server implementation.

qemu-vte

A standalone VTE/Gtk+ 4 client, which should eventually be a consumable crate or integrated with qemu-rdw.
