*if* you select it, yes, because sdl display isn't being built.
Don't enable options which are not built.

Should? Now you have 2 options: gui, with full support of various
modern options such as 3D acceleration, or no local gui display
and no X dependencies at all. If you run X, you'll get full support
of qemu local display abilities.

Seriously, come on, if you need custom set of dependencies, build
your own configuration of qemu, don't force maintainers to build
a thousand of different configurations for you.

Thanks,

Nope.

1. I still get “Display 'sdl' is not available.” if I select it.

2. qemu *still* runs a VNC server by default if the above package
   is not installed.

Additionally, GTK+3 is… problematic and has many dependencies
it pulls in, so the standard X11 display with SDL should still
work.

In addition to being a severe regression, starting a VNC server
by default (which then allows other users on the same machine
to connect to it) is also a security problem.

Bug#913335: qemu-system-i386: Display 'sdl' is not available.

2018-11-09 Thread Thorsten Glaser
Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 1:2.12+dfsg-3+b1
Severity: important

What the Subject says:
qemu-system-i386: Display 'sdl' is not available.

When I start qemu, I get:

WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'root.squashfs' and probing guessed 
raw.
 Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write 
operations on block 0 will be restricted.  
 Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
VNC server running on 127.0.0.1:5900

It used to display a window in which I could directly interact.
This is a severe regression, making it unusable without extra tools.
