Configuration

Configuration for AQEMU is a breeze. Simply follow the setup wizard to create a virtual hard drive, then set up a virtual machine.

Enabling VM graphical output

In version 0.8.2-r2 or lower, there is no setting to enable the graphical output from the virtual machines. To have the machine display output to a GTK window an additional option currently not "supported" in AQEMU is needed. Presuming a virtual machine has already been created, follow these instructions:

1. Start AQEMU.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Under Additional QEME/KVM Arguments enter -display gtk in the textbox then click Apply.
4. Start the virtual machine. Output should be displayed in a GTK window.
