[Qemu-devel] use qemu without X, on a remote machine

[Rakotomandimby Mihamina]

Hi,
I would like to use qemu without X
Why?
Because of ressource consumption, and because the machine (the host) for
emulation is a dedicated one, and I dont want to put another keyboard,
nor another Monitor.
Is there an option to disable X use?
I will only install Linux distributions in text mode, and I access the
host through SSH.
The switching feature
(http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/qemu-doc.html#SEC11) are
interesting, but I think can do without them after the install phase.
http://www.google.fr/search?q=use+qemu+without+X did not hel me this
time, although you have some keywords to advice.
Thank you.

You should try out the -vnc option in the newest version of qemu.  
Alternatively, you can use the -nographics option if your sure that you 
only ever need a serial line.

There is also an interesting patch floating around that renders CGA mode 
via ncurses.

Simply use the -nographic option when starting qemu ... and use 
networking options to get your virtual host accessible.

I personnaly do it and it is working well.
