RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description mazhang 2014-01-08 09:37:45 UTC
Description of problem:
SDL and curses has been disabled default, but still in qemu-doc. If qemu-kvm will not support it should remove it from qemu-doc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Host:
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-31.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Start qemu-kvm with sdl/curses option.
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -monitor stdio -display sdl
SDL support is disabled
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -monitor stdio -display curses
Curses support is disabled
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -monitor stdio -sdl
SDL support is disabled
[root@localhost ~]# /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -monitor stdio -curses
Curses support is disabled

2.Check qemu-kvm manual.
man qemu-kvm
...
       -display type
           Select type of display to use. This option is a replacement for the old style -sdl/-curses/... options. Valid values for type are

           sdl Display video output via SDL (usually in a separate graphics window; see the SDL documentation for other possibilities).

           curses
               Display video output via curses. For graphics device models which support a text mode, QEMU can display this output using a curses/ncurses interface. Nothing is
               displayed when the graphics device is in graphical mode or if the graphics device does not support a text mode. Generally only the VGA device models support text
               mode.

3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
Remove sdl/curses from qemu-doc.

Hmm.  Upstream policy is to NOT make qemu-doc depend on compile time options, so this most likely isn't going to be accepted upstream.  I don't feel like diverging from upstream for a low priority bug like this one.  In any case it's not for 7.0.
