1707 <para>
1708 The QEMU recipe now uses a number of
1709 <link linkend='var-PACKAGECONFIG'><filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename></link>
1710 options to enable various optional features.
1711 The method used to set defaults for these options means that
1712 existing
1713 <filename>local.conf</filename> files will need to be be
1714 modified to append to <filename>PACKAGECONFIG</filename> for
1715 <filename>qemu-native</filename> and
1716 <filename>nativesdk-qemu</filename> instead of setting it.
1717 In other words, to enable graphical output for QEMU, you should
1718 now have these lines in <filename>local.conf</filename>:
1719 <literallayout class='monospaced'>
1720 PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qemu-native = " sdl"
