I'm guessing this command line is truncated. In general assuming you compiled QEMU with graphics support you'll get a graphical window unless you specifically turn it off with -nographics or -display none or similar. (For instance just "qemu-system-aarch64 -M virt" will bring up a gtk window with the monitor in it, though it's not a very useful command line for actually doing anything.)

It's invite only but only in the sense that we don't have a self-service page for account creation, because that was heavily abused by spammers. Any actual human who posts to qemu-devel asking for an account can have one. thanks -- PMM
