The [DISPLAY] values should be respected if there are no per [AXIS_<n>] 
definitions in the INI file. Note that the speed limits are in machine 
units (mm or inch), inch are currently not very well supported as machine 
units with QtQuickVcp.

 Which OS are you using? I know of problems on Windows and Mac. If you 
could work on debugging the problem it would be great.

 Yes, that is what the "local UIs" are made for. Take a look at the 
 Machinekit Client, it comes with one local UI. For now you need to add it 
to the Qt project, 
see https://github.com/strahlex/MachinekitClient/blob/master/main.qml#L65

 Yes, you need to set 
autoSelectInstace: https://github.com/strahlex/Cetus/blob/master/main.qml#L24
This can be done with json file 
too:
