That sounds spot on. But it doesn't work. The cause of the problem was
updating
all packages (Gentoo "emerge world") which wiped my qemu-friendly sdl. I've
tried installing sdl-1.2.7 and sdl-1.2.8, with both the Gentoo installer and by
"./configure, make, make install", with x specifically enabled. When I try to
run qemu
after compiling sdl with svgalib disabled, it complains "can't start sdl,
exiting". When I
try to run qemu after compiling sdl with svgalib enabled, it complains "can't
find svgalib-helper".
It never recognizes the availability of X. But after every compile of sdl,
both with and
without svgalib enabled, I checked that applications in the SDL-1.2.8/test
directory would
run - and they always use X and run beautifully. It seems like something in
the qemu
"SDL-starter" is demanding svgalib.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
