may i ask Why?



here is a screencap:

If anyone has a copy of Power MachTen PM me, please. And still you can't trust Qemu for your virtualization needs.
Qemu+XF86 3.x.x=X Barf

Disable all acceleration in your XConfig file. I forgot what option to set, but it should be documented in that file.

PS: If you can get around that problem, QEMU is one of the best hypervisors to run old versions of Linux.
