Hello,
Can a guest with SDL graphics run on a host without X? I get an error:
"init kbd.
Could not initialize SDL - exiting"
The above happens on a host with X after running "/etc/init.d/xdm stop" and "chmod
-R 777 /dev".
If I don't do the chmod, SDL complains about not being able to open the
framebuffer and exits.
The host is Debian Squeeze with the standard qemu-kvm package in their
repository (version 0.12.5).
The guest xml does not specify a keyboard device.
The same guest runs fine under X.
If there is any other information that could be useful, I will be very happy to
provide it.
If this is not the right place for such questions, apologies, please let me
know what the right place is.
The qemu list might be better since that code all originated there. What
exactly are you trying to achieve? It sounds like you are trying to get
the guest to display on a Linux console via sdl. From what I understand
that's going to be severely limited functionality wise.
Thanks!
Richard
