Seriously ? I can't believe.

Getting a test machine with the minimal requirement of getting serial
log output is fundamental to be productive. (There are so cheap (for a
company/project) refurbished Intel notebooks available with Intel AMT
SOL on board ...)

Nevertheless,

I updated [0] and added some (experimental/untested) features. Mainly
they take care to capture the log output in 'core' and a graphical
terminal will show them. Obviously, this only make sense if you managed
to boot Genode into the graphical environment and all went fine. (Which
sounds so in your case).

Good luck,

Alex.
