I don't claim to be an expert on security, so I won't comment on the security implications here, but I was able to get qemu-kvm to use SDL by exporting both the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY that is set in your session before doing a sudo -i, within that session. ie: sudo -i export DISPLAY=:0.0 export XAUTHORITY=<whatever it was set to before sudo> qemu-kvm ...
