That sounds spot on. But it doesn't work. The cause of the problem was updating all packages (Gentoo "emerge world") which wiped my qemu-friendly sdl. I've tried installing sdl-1.2.7 and sdl-1.2.8, with both the Gentoo installer and by "./configure, make, make install", with x specifically enabled. When I try to run qemu after compiling sdl with svgalib disabled, it complains "can't start sdl, exiting". When I try to run qemu after compiling sdl with svgalib enabled, it complains "can't find svgalib-helper". It never recognizes the availability of X. But after every compile of sdl, both with and without svgalib enabled, I checked that applications in the SDL-1.2.8/test directory would run - and they always use X and run beautifully. It seems like something in the qemu "SDL-starter" is demanding svgalib. Suggestions would be appreciated.
