Hi
       I am a begginer in xen...and i read your  post on xen users
list.I have installed a few domU but all in text mode.


I am working on a machine with following config:

Intel 3.06Ghz, 700Mb ram,with Asus motherboard.

I want to install domU in grahics mode (windowsX or so) ...but the
problem is  during VM installation it flashes a message "Display
variable not set ...installing in text mode"
Your installer is probably not correctly detecting the graphics. I've had that happen with older installation media and newer graphics cards, especially when the base installation OS didn't have the drivers at all but newer update kernels did. Which OS are you installing? Why not install in text mode, and set up the X configuration after it's installed and running?


1)Where to set this display variable ?
It's automatically set to localhost:0 by good installation setups, but it won't work if it can't find working display configurations.

2)Is it installing in text mode because i have only one graphics
adapter ...do i need more physical adapters to install VM in X mode

Nah.

3)using VNC ,is it possible to install in Xmode on my machine
configuration...and how to do that?
Should be. Do you have to do an HVM or VT installation?
