problem running kvm with 2.6.22

problem running kvm with 2.6.22

[Gerb Stralko]

Hello,

   this isn't really a dev issue but google couldn't help me on this
one.  I'm running a 2.6.22 kernel with the kvm and kvm-intel as
modules built as modules:

stralko@magnum_pi ~ $ lsmod

snd_emu10k1,snd_rawmidi,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm,snd_seq_device,snd_timer,snd_hwdep

however when i run the following commands:

stralko@magnum_pi ~ $ sudo /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda
/mnt/kvm/win32xp.img -cdrom /mnt/kvm/win32xp.iso -boot d -m 512
Could not initialize SDL - exiting

I do have the libsdl libraries installed, but i can't figure out wants
going on.  The userspace verision of kvm i have is kvm-33.

Can you run normal X clients?  Is $DISPLAY set correctly, etc.?

If not, either fix that, or use the -vnc option.

 Yes, i can run normal X Clients and $DISPLAY is just regular old
=:0.0  _but_ when i run without sudo

stralko@magnum_pi ~ $ /usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda
/mnt/kvm/win32xp.img -cdrom /mnt/kvm/win32xp.iso -boot d -m 512

it boots up fine, but says cannot open /dev/kvm, disabling kvm mode.
Which makes sense,  because a normal users can't run kvm.  However, is
there anything special i need to do for the sdl libs?

Anyways i research SDL alittle and see what i can find.

Thanks again keep up the good work,

Jerry

This is weird, when i do
$>su -
$>/usr/local/kvm/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -hda \
  /mnt/kvm/win32xp.img \
  -cdrom /mnt/kvm/win32xp.iso -boot d -m 512

it works like a champ!  Some permission problem with SDL (i guess),
kvm is working fine...sorry for the noise.

I met the same problem on one machine today.
I was trying to create KVM on vncserver, but always failed with "Could not initialize SDL - exiting"
I get around this issue with set DISPLAY to 1 again
# export DISPLAY=:1

Thanks
Yunfeng
