I have tried literally everything that I was able to find in google and stackoverflow but I am still getting this error message. I use Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon and I have downloaded latest version of SDL - 2.0.4 but my Minix still won't boot.

marc@E540 ~/Downloads $ qemu-system-x86_64 minix203.img 
Could not initialize SDL(No available video device) - exiting

I know about -curses flag but I want to solve this issue.

Are your $DISPLAY and $XAUTHORITY environment variables set? – cup Mar 21 '16 at 13:11
I have set it but for be 100% sure, how do I check if it is set? – wieczorekm Mar 21 '16 at 13:13
From a terminal, type env. – cup Mar 21 '16 at 14:53
DISPLAY=:0, XAUTHORITY=/home/marc/.Xauthority So its fine, but how can I check if SDL is installed properly? – wieczorekm Mar 21 '16 at 15:40
