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:
