Comment 7 for bug 60478

qemu is a community-maintained package, so perhaps someone should push a MOTU or two about this issue, or actually more precisely the other issue, to get openhackware in Ubuntu. I've personally just installed Debian's openhackware package on Ubuntu.

video.x thing is non-free, so it cannot be fixed unless someone actually conjures a free alternative for it. So it has to be obtained manually anyway, but a note should be added to qemu's README like Debian did.
