the --gpu_mode=none no the command line means that "(faster, but no graphics)" is still true, no?

or did you mean to remove the --gpu_mode=none here?

can we explain the different --gpu_mode options?

--vm_manager=qemu_cli \
--qemu_binary_dir=$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/device/google/cuttlefish_vmm/qemu/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin
--qemu_binary_dir=$ANDROID_HOST_OUT/bin
```

After building, run this following command from the same shell:

--vm_manager=qemu_cli \
--qemu_binary_dir=$ANDROID_BUILD_TOP/device/google/cuttlefish_vmm/qemu/x86_64-linux-gnu/bin
```
You can then use `vncviewer localhost:6444` to connect to your riscv64 cuttlefish!
