Hmh, NEWS items are not shown when doing a fresh install on bullseye. And even then, searching for SDL case-insensitively in that file does not even show it. Searching for 2\.12 also does not find it. Indeed there are only two NEWS entries, 1:5.0-9 and 1.7.0+dfsg-2, no others. So no, I have n̲o̲ idea how to “deal with it”. > Do you think that during all these almost 6 years, it's possible that > no one else has noticed this "much harder to use"? I'm *very* doubt > it's possible. Not sure; I only noticed because I was using qemu from the command line as opposed to with libvirt (in order to try a new OS), on a system that did not have qemu installed before. So, how do I get SDL display working in bullseye? > You install things without recommends, - it's assumed you know what > you're doing and you have minimal knowledge where to look at in case > of issues like this one (hint: take a look at Recommends: of the > packages with reduced functionality). I did, but it just showed an optional GTK+3 GUI, which I do not want to use. I avoid GTK+ stuff in general, GTK+3 especial. > Install qemu-system-gui package and be done with this.

Perhaps, but when specifically emulating for a 32-bit system that needs such a CPU this is the correct one to use. > Also, "sdl" display type *appeared* with the qemu-system-gui split, > since it were possible to add more dependencies for -gui without > adding them to "headless setup". If you added this sideswipe for the reason I guess, then no, you’re wrong. I *was* able to discover the “sdl” display from the qemu error message and the manpage. I am not able to find out how to proceed from there with just that (nor, see above, the NEWS file). bye, //mirabilos -- 15:39⎜«mika:#grml» mira|AO: "mit XFree86® wär’ das nicht passiert" - muhaha 15:48⎜<thkoehler:#grml> also warum machen die xorg Jungs eigentlich alles kaputt? :) 15:49⎜<novoid:#grml> thkoehler: weil sie als Kinder nie den gebauten Turm selber umschmeissen durften? -- ~/.Xmodmap wonders…
