When you say "hangs" do you mean that your X-windows freeze in place, or
does the screen go blank?

If its the latter, it might not be the whole machine that is
hung...rather the SDL window has gone full-screen and then the guest
hung. If so, to get out of it you can try switching to a new VT
(Cntrl-Alt F4, for instance) and killing the qemu/kvm process.

I know this doesn't answer your question as to why KVM isnt working, but
its better to know this trick than to hard-reset your laptop every time
this happens ;)

BTW: For some reason, launching KVM as root on my laptop makes the SDL
window go fullscreen. Launching it as a standard user gives you a
windowed guest. Alternatively, you can also launch the guest using VNC
graphics.
