Greetings!

I have installed xen-4.0 with kernel 2.6.32 on a gentoo box.
Everything works perfectly, except one tiny detail.
I do not have X installed on the machine, so I configured the (old,
non-xen) kernel to use a framebuffer, so that I don't have to cope
with the ugly 80x25 resolution, especially on a 19" display.

Unfortunately, with the xen kernel, dom0 now uses the 80x25 mode and I
can't seem to get it to use the framebuffer like it did in the non-xen
kernel. I'm usually logging on locally for maintenance from time to
time, and 80x25 is *really* not fun to work with. I don't want to
install X just because of that.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
