If you go to $(XEN_ROOT)/tools/ioemu and do "./configure" followed by
"make", then copy the resulting qemu-dm (in i386-dm directory) to the
/usr/lib{64}/xen/bin. Also after "./configure", do "grep -r CONFIG_SDL".
You should find it in target-i386-dm/config.h [or something like that]. 

I struggled since I rebuilt by build-machine, at first I didn't have the
right files installed, and then when I finally got everything in place,
I had vnc=1 also on the machine, and that didn't work out right. 

Also, have a look at /var/log/xen/qemu-dm.<pid>.log (find the current
one with "ls -ltr /var/log/xen/qemu*" (the newest one is at the bottom.
[One can probably use "cat `ls -tr /var/log/xen/qemu*`" to show the
latest one, actually - but I haven't tried that].
