Hi folks, I am hoping somebody could give an overview of the xen
framebuffer/graphics architecture...at the level of what processes and
drivers are involved in a Linux DomU and Dom0, how they are set up,
how information control flows between them, etc.  (Running 3.0.3, I
see xen-vncfc in Dom0 and xenfb in domU).

I'm primarily interested in understanding on how things work in a PV
DomU, but also in a HVM DomU.

I guess I'm not clear on why Xen has to do anything for this...doesn't
xvnc provide a framebuffer that can be accessed via VNC, and wouldn't
this be outside the scope of Xen?

Thanks,
Dave
