   MACHINE - the machine name (optional, autodetected from KERNEL filename if unspecified)
   Simplified QEMU command-line options can be passed with:
     nographic - disable video console
+    sdl - choose the SDL frontend instead of the Gtk+ default
+    gtk-gl - enable virgl-based GL acceleration using Gtk+ frontend
+    gtk-gl-es - enable virgl-based GL acceleration, using OpenGL ES and Gtk+ frontend
+    egl-headless - enable headless EGL output; use vnc or spice to see it
     serial - enable a serial console on /dev/ttyS0
+    serialstdio - enable a serial console on the console (regardless of graphics mode)
     slirp - enable user networking, no root privileges is required
     kvm - enable KVM when running x86/x86_64 (VT-capable CPU required)
     kvm-vhost - enable KVM with vhost when running x86/x86_64 (VT-capable CPU required)
