I've had the best luck connecting manually with vnc. You connect to the
same port as the domainid. For example:
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 257 2 r----- 73.7
winxp-snap0 4 256 1 r----- 29.7
You would use "xvncviewer xenhost:4"
SDL does work for me. With respect to the cdrom, I've seen a note or
two that suggest that you should use the actual cdrom device rather than
the /dev/cdrom symlink. The cdrom wasn't functioning as well as I would
have liked, but I have been using an iso image of the cdrom instead.
Using the iso image may help booting.
Regards,
John
