Hmmm I wonder if what you're seeing is a framebuffer issue with GTK? Do
you see any of the GTK menus at all around the black screen? What
happens if you try and connect to the framebuffer over VNC, e.g. adding
-vnc :1 to the command line and using a VNC client pointed at localhost?
No menus at all. The VNC client window is also black.
The only other thing I can think of is that the Debian packages don't
include the QEMU,cgthree.bin ROM file required to initialise the display
in the device tree. Can you see both this file, QEMU,tcx.bin and
openbios-sparc32 in /usr/share/qemu for your installation?
