I have been working on HVM support via CIM and realized there is no support in the API for all of the graphics-related configuration options currently supported via 'xm config files', e.g.:

sdl=
vnc=
vnclisten=
vncdisplay=
vncunused=
vncconsole=
vncpassword=
nographic=
stdvga=
full-screen=
keymap=

keymap doesn't belong in this list but added it since there is no support in the API for specifying it either. Perhaps it should just be a property added to the VM class.

As for the others, how about a Graphics class that can be added to a VM similar to VBD and VIF devices? I have not had an opportunity to take the PV framebuffer support for a spin so not sure how it would relate to a Graphics class.

Regards,
Jim
