Well, it's a graphic mode, yes, but you can't see what is graphically
displayed there, as qemu can just print "640x480 graphic mode", and not
draw the actual graphical output in the xterm.

print new text as it comes. Too bad. Well, then you'd have to use a
serial console instead. That'd need rebuilding GNU Mach.
