Normally, QEMU uses SDL to display the VGA output. With this option,
you can totally disable graphical output so that QEMU is a simple
command line application. The emulated serial port is redirected on
the console and muxed with the monitor (unless redirected elsewhere
explicitly). Therefore, you can still use QEMU to debug a Linux kernel
with a serial console. Use @key{C-a h} for help on switching between
the console and monitor.
Normally, if QEMU is compiled with graphical window support, it displays
output such as guest graphics, guest console, and the QEMU monitor in a
