Subject: [Qemu-trivial] [PATCH v2] help: Update help to reflect that GTK is the default
Date: Fri, 5 Aug 2016 14:03:15 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470420195-32551-1-git-send-email-clord@redhat.com> (raw)
Updates the help messages to reflect that GTK is the default display (if
enabled), not SDL.
Signed-off-by: Colin Lord <clord@redhat.com>

v2: Update to try to implement Paolo's suggested wordings. It looks to
me like the subsections get wrapped at 72 lines, which mean there was a
bit of a ripple effect and the changes look bigger than they are.
