    Is there a trick to geting sdl to initialize? I always get:

    "Could not initialize SDL - exiting"

    when trying to start qemu. The only thing I found with google was trying:

     xhost + and that did not help. Could it b my video hardware?

    My ports are up to date.

    If it helps, I have a matrox card, here is the xorg log:

    (II) Loading sub module "mga_hal"
    (II) LoadModule: "mga_hal"

    and of corse:
