I've used 'sudo -i' to log in as root in a terminal window. Root access is required by the disk image.
If that's not the issue, check the value of the DISPLAY environment variable. That needs to be valid.
I'm using DISPLAY=:0.0 ... is that correct?
Thanks,

I don't claim to be an expert on security, so I won't comment on the security implications here, but I was able to get qemu-kvm to use SDL by exporting both the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY that is set in your session before doing a sudo -i, within that session. ie: sudo -i export DISPLAY=:0.0 export XAUTHORITY=<whatever it was set to before sudo> qemu-kvm ...
