Thanks a lot Fajar,

even KDE can work in 2D mode. I think this requirement is asked becouse
of Compiz, which could be set up as default in the windows manager.

Anyway, I've made another test. I've put sdl=1 and opengl=1 in the domU
configuration file and I have seen at least the splash screen of KDE. Despite
that, KDE doesn't start as well. Of course it's due to what you've explained.

Thank you very much,
