Thanks Jim.  I have no xorg.conf:

debian:/dev# find / -print|grep -i xorg
debian:/dev#

I'm also trying to figure out what bearing xorg has on this, being
paravirtualized.  Are you saying that xorg is mandatory in order to
receive the text output of the console via VNC?  For absolute clarity,
I have no interest in running X or VNC on the domU.  Although I did
install it via 'apt-get -y install xorg' I could find no reference to
fbdev in xorg.conf.  Are there alternatives, i.e. backported kernels
from Lenny/Sid?
