[poky] Trouble running Poky 2.7 qemu-x86 build

[Alexander Kanavin]

The line
PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-qemu-native = " sdl"
looks incorrect. The default local.conf set up for you (when you run
'source oe-init-build-env build') should have the correct one. Where did
that line come from? If it's some manual or guide or wiki, we need to
update it.

Qemu doesn't actually hang, it runs fine but without any graphical output,
because the graphical support is misconfigured (disabled) in your case.
