gfx console works (i.e. kernel /xen-3.3.gz vga=gfx-1024x768x16).
vga text console didn't last time I tried.

Didn't try yet, the machine is heavily underpowered for serious
virtualization work, it has 192 MB RAM only.  And hvm doesn't work
anyway because the box is way to old for that (Pentium III).
