[solved] android AVD doesn't start

I installed android-sdk and android-sdk-platform-tools from AUR, launched the 'android' tool and downloaded some packages (android 4.0.3 and 3.2).
Then I created two AVD with the default settings, which worked when I tried in Windows.
But when i try to start an AVD, the android tool crashes and this is what appears in my console:

~ > sudo android
java.awt.HeadlessException
	at sun.awt.HeadlessToolkit.getScreenResolution(HeadlessToolkit.java:227)

	at com.android.sdkmanager.Main.main(Main.java:103)

I don't use eclipse.. I just want to check how my website and webapps look in the android browser and opera mini.

EDIT:
ok, it works when I launch the AVD directly from the CL.

~ >emulator -avd myavd

it's still as slow as in windows, and uses 100% of cpu resources, but it works..

As a workaround, I found that disabling sound caused the cpu usage to return to normal
