Yes, I debugged it yesterday too, after receiving #745185, and yes your
observation are correct.

Sure, that appears to be the solution.  I asked upstream about this (see
Forwarded URL), but no reply so far, and looking at the code I don't see
an easy fix, apparently monitor and guest serial output are not even
implemented for sdl2.

Please give me one more day for this, to get definitive opinion.  I have quite
some changes pending for the next release already which will have to be backed
up for this change to be uploaded (new changes introduces some new packages,
namely libcacard, so will wait in NEW).

Note that usage of SDL2 is required for modular monitor (in loadable modules),
because SDL1 replaces main() routine to do pre-initialization and hence
can't be loaded later.

Thank you for the excellent bugreport!
