Folk,

After two attempts to subscribe to the Qemu 
users forum, both reporting a SQL error on 
the server, I have subscribed here.  My first 
topic is a request that the user forum be 
repaired.

Now for my Qemu problem.  This is in Debian Lenny.

newton:~# qemu -m 40 -hda /dev/sda -cdrom /home/peter/AosCD.iso -boot d
Could not open SDL display
newton:~# 

libsdl1.2debian-all is installed but "man sdl"
and "man libsdl" yield nothing. 

Someone please give a hint to get SDL to work.

I'll happily take my questions to the user forum 
as soon as it works.

Thanks,          ... Peter E.

echo $DISPLAY ?

You probably need to give root access to your X server.
