I don't use a framebuffer device. I use x.org. KVM uses SDL to draw the virtual machines window. SDL has a variety of video output drivers available, including "x11" and "directfb". When SDL starts, it tries to auto-detect what graphics driver it should use. If you're running X, it should detect this and use the "x11" driver, which is what happens for me.
In your case, for some reason SDL is trying to use the "directfb" driver instead of "x11". The "directfb" driver is intended for running graphical application from a text console when X isn't running, by directly accessing the framebuffer device. We need to figure out why SDL isn't detecting your x.org properly, so it will pick the "x11" driver. -- Local SDL window does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226273 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
