The fullscreen option in the config file is currently not handled. You can get around it by changing the device_model line in the config file to point to a wrapper script that calls qemu-dm with the -full-screen option added. This has worked for me, with the small caution that it becomes pretty much impossible to get back to the desktop without shutting down the fullscreen VM since it steals keyboard and mouse focus and doesn't give it back with ctrl-alt either. I run my fullscreen mode VMs on a second X server started in another VT. There's clearly some work left to be done with Xen wrt fullscreen mode.

Hi,

I'm trying to get a WinXP guest to appear full screen on my RHEL5 system.

I do the following:

[root@mybox ~]# /usr/sbin/xm create /etc/xen/winxp.hvm
Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp.hvm".
Error: Errors were found at line 190 while processing /etc/xen/winxp.hvm:
        full-screen=1

winxp.hvm will "work" just fine if I comment out the full-screen line,
although it won't be full screen.

What could I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
