The qemu output then isn't going to a VNC window but something else. I
presume the something else is the SDL piece? Were there any special flags
to enable this on QEMU?

That looks like the VM_IO flag (_PAGE_IOMAP on the PTE) is not set somewhere.
Do you have an idea what piece of kernel code gets triggered when QEMU does
'mmap' on the /dev/fb0?

On my machine where I use KMS/DRM it ends up calling 'ttm_fb_mmap'. But
for your system, where it looks that you are using the "old" framebuffer
code it might be something entirely different.

<nods> Looks quite similar to what I've been using.
