"Display output is not active" when trying to run android-x86_64-9.0-r2-k49.iso live

[obernil]

When using

android-x86_64-9.0-r2-k49.iso as image (stored locally under ~/storage/boot.img)

after choosing to run live at the graphical prompt, displays briefly:

"Display output is not active"

then returns to CLI showing:

[    0.055895] core perfectr but no constraints; unknown hardware!
Detecting Android-x86... found at /dev/sr0

console:/ #

and the graphical booting does not proceed further

I have no idea what is causing it to be honest. Might be some incompatibility between the hardware configuration I configure for QEMU.

It might be possible to fix this by setting a different VGA adaptor in the compose file like this:

environment:
  VGA: "virtio"

By default it uses the virtio GPU card, but you can choose other ones like std which is a bit simpler. For all types you can choose see https://www.kraxel.org/blog/2019/09/display-devices-in-qemu/
