Hmm are you using -curses?  IIRC that only works as long as the guest
stays in vga textmode i.e. isn't using X or framebuffee consoles.

 Oh and if you run qemu as root it may default to -curses too since
it probably doesn't have permissions to access your X display...
(Usually you dont't need to run qemu as root btw.)
