Thanks, it works!

FYI: the UDMA issue which has been found in 0.10.0 is still valid for 0.10.1. The other issue mentioned briefly - switching "away" and "back" in full-screen mode (directx) fails to restore the client screen - also still there.

Thanks for repeating your tests. :-) Maybe I will look into this, but I'm tired of getting no replies at qemu-devel. :-|
