Hi!

 Yes, you can start X within the domU but, it isn't the best/fast way to access your domU X Window System.

 Try the NoMachine NX http://www.nomachine.com insted VNC!   ;-)

 But if you really want to be able to start X within your domU, you must setup the virtual framebuffer for it, add this line to your PV config file:

vfb         = [ 'type=vnc' ]

 If you want to see this working without touching any files, try the Xen Live CD v2.0!

 http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/LiveCD

 ...virtual framebuffer enabled for virtual work stations, extra examples with SDL console enabled...

Regards,
Thiago

Hi there.

I've installed Fedora 9 as DomU in PV mode. Everything OK, but I don't
have any video card in DomU. I can't start X. And also, I can't start
VNC.

Is it possible to start X and VNC in PV DomU?

My config:
%# cat config
bootloader = "/usr/bin/pygrub"
memory = 128
name = "name"
cpus = "0,1"
vcups = 1
vif = [ 'ip/and/mac' ]
disk = [
'file:/path/to/vm/hda.img,hda,w',
'file:/path/to/vm/swap.img,hdb,w',
]
> on_reboot   = 'restart'
on_crash    = 'restart'
vnc = 1

In DomU:
%# lspci
nothing

Thanks.
