Package: qemu
Version: 1:2.10.0+dfsg-2
Severity: normal
I've encountered several issue with this version of qemu and I highly
suspect they stem from the SDL2 switch.
I will file different bugreports for the problems i've encountered,
guessing it's better for the qemu's maintainer.
I'm currently using this release on two Intel based PCs: an Haswell
laptop (the one on which i'm writing this BR) and an Ivy Bridge desktop,
both with an integrated Intel graphics card.
On both PC I use an updated Debian Sid with Mate Desktop.
Both PC experienced the same problems and on the desktop PC i've
workarounded them downgrading only qemu-system-x86 to 1:2.10.0+dfsg-1.
I'm going to do this downgrade also on the notebook as soon as i've
finished reporting these problems, because here qemu's usability
is severely compromised.

Try this setup:
qemu-system-x86_64 \
-name debian-sid-32 \
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm,vmport=off,usb=on \
-smp sockets=1,cores=1,threads=2 \
-m 512 \
-device virtio-keyboard-pci \
-device virtio-tablet-pci \
-device virtio-gpu-pci \
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0 \
-device virtio-scsi-pci \
-device scsi-hd,drive=hd0,bootindex=1 \
-netdev user,id=net0 \
-drive if=none,id=hd0,format=qcow2,discard=on,file="img.qcow2"
-rtc base=utc \
&
If I press CTRL-ALT-3 to access qemu's monitor, then press "help", i'm
not able to scroll back anymore since CTRL-Up, CTRL-Down, CTRL-PgUP and
CTRL-PgDown don't work.
Downgrading to dfsg1 will restore the documented behaviour.
Cesare.
