Re: [orca-list] Qemu Accessibility

Ah yes. I nearly forgot about the serial console thing. That works well if 
you're running a text-only guest, regardless of the host. I think qemu may also 
have a curses mode for that kind of thing, although I didn't actually try that 
interface. Unfortunately, neither of these options would resolve the issue of 
how to run a guest with a desktop environment on a text-only host. It is 
possible that adding the regular user to the video group may work, but although 
it was some years back, I never got a desktop guest running in a text 
environment, even when my user was in both the audio and video groups. I believe 
qemu can use sdl for that, but I never got it working. Incidentally, I couldn't 
get mame to work in that way either, and I do know that it's using sdl.
