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