When you say "hangs" do you mean that your X-windows freeze in place, or does the screen go blank? If its the latter, it might not be the whole machine that is hung...rather the SDL window has gone full-screen and then the guest hung. If so, to get out of it you can try switching to a new VT (Cntrl-Alt F4, for instance) and killing the qemu/kvm process. I know this doesn't answer your question as to why KVM isnt working, but its better to know this trick than to hard-reset your laptop every time this happens ;) BTW: For some reason, launching KVM as root on my laptop makes the SDL window go fullscreen. Launching it as a standard user gives you a windowed guest. Alternatively, you can also launch the guest using VNC graphics. > > > Any ideas??
