RE: [Xen-users] Screen resolution - Vista

[Nathan Eisenberg <nathan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've always favored RDP for everything post-setup/console, as using the Xen 
implementation of VNC seems to usually create significant CPU load on the Dom0. 
 If you must use VNC, install VNCserver on the DomU itself, and the load issue 
disappears.

You're right, of course -- I had got confused with the pv vnc 
framebuffer.   Again :-)

You generally get rather better performance that way although there are 
odd cases where network connectivity will conspire against you (mostly 
when you have a separate management LAN).
