Can I use Syllable with Qemu?
Yes. Syllable is known to work with Qemu as long as you are using a VESA 2.0 VGA BIOS (which is included in the latest Qemu versions). It is best to run Qemu with the -std-vga parameter, because the default Cirrus Logic video emulation is actually slower with Syllable and limits the available screen modes. The colour palette is still limited. Strangely, current Syllable versions run slightly slower with virtualisation instead of faster, so if you are running on Linux and you have the KQemu accelerator kernel module loaded, it should better be turned off with the -no-kqemu parameter. You can use the Syllable live CD, as an ISO image or mounted physically, or the .vmdk file from the VMware disk image.
