Re: [Xen-users] Video Card in DomU PV

[Thiago Camargo Martins Cordeiro <thiagocmartinsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

 Yes, you can start X within the domU but, it isn't the best/fast way to access your domU X Window System.

 Try the NoMachine NX http://www.nomachine.com insted VNC!   ;-)

 But if you really want to be able to start X within your domU, you must setup the virtual framebuffer for it, add this line to your PV config file:

vfb         = [ 'type=vnc' ]

 If you want to see this working without touching any files, try the Xen Live CD v2.0!

 ...virtual framebuffer enabled for virtual work stations, extra examples with SDL console enabled...

Thiago

Hi there.

I've installed Fedora 9 as DomU in PV mode. Everything OK, but I don't
have any video card in DomU. I can't start X. And also, I can't start
VNC.

Is it possible to start X and VNC in PV DomU?

My config:
%# cat config
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
memory = 128
name = "name"
cpus = "0,1"
vcups = 1
vif = [ 'ip/and/mac' ]
disk = [
'file:/path/to/vm/hda.img,hda,w',
'file:/path/to/vm/swap.img,hdb,w',
]
> on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
vnc = 1

In DomU:
%# lspci
nothing

Thanks.
