Package: qemu-system-x86
Version: 2.1+dfsg-2
Severity: important
I've been running "qemu-system-x86_64 -display sdl [..]" for months without
problems. Now it shows an error
"Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting"
I'm hoping for a soon fix.

First, don't run qemu as root, it is not supposed to be run with superuser
privileges.
And second, if you want your X11 environment to be accessible across sudo,
configure sudo to pass $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY variables, so that X clients
will be able to connect to your X server.
This has nothing to do with qemu. So closing this bugreport.
Thanks,
