+Display video output via curses. For graphics device models which
+support a text mode, QEMU can display this output using a
+curses/ncurses interface. Nothing is displayed when the graphics
+device is in graphical mode or if the graphics device does not support
+a text mode. Generally only the VGA device models support text mode.
+@item none
+Do not display video output. The guest will still see an emulated
+graphics card, but its output will not be displayed to the QEMU

depending on its encoding settings. Enabling this option can save
a lot of bandwidth at the expense of quality.
+@item non-adaptive
+
+Disable adaptive encodings. Adaptive encodings are enabled by default.
+An adaptive encoding will try to detect frequently updated screen regions,
+and send updates in these regions using a lossy encoding (like JPEG).
+This can be really helpfull to save bandwidth when playing videos. Disabling
+adaptive encodings allow to restore the original static behavior of encodings
+like Tight.
