Public bug reported: Disabling SDL support may have its reasons, but I guess that means I may be the only one using the virglrenderer library, because it has problems running with the GTK frontend.
I've been emulating an Android 9.0 device since Eoan, and it took me some time to understand Qemu's GTK frontend and virglrenderer were interacting badly. That may very well be a problem with virglrenderer, not Qemu, but still, using SDL is a good way around it. Currently it doesn't change anything for me as I have to rebuild to insert a personal patch anyway, but I thought it may be worth mentioning, since people may experience problems with virglrenderer they don't know how to solve.
