Hi Diederik,
As you can see from the Ben's message, the only question is
whether the buffer should be increased to 4k or 8k. I tested
and 4k was big enough for the Xen virtual keyboard, but Ben
also though that the "correct" value to increase it to might
be 8k, which matches a buffer size in udev. So we should work
out that question before submitting upstream, don't you think?
Best regards,
Chuck
