There appears to be VNC support in qemu which I assume will allow you to see both the text and graphics (X) mode of the emulated console. If so, is there a way to achieve this with a para-virtualized kernel?

There is an item on the TODO list to implement a para-virtualized framebuffer. That would provide this sort of functionality. I don't know if anyone is actively working on it but I know there's at least been some discussion abou tit.

My undertanding is that the xen changes to the Linux kernel include changes to the console driver to talk to the xen tools and that is you want and X server, you run Xvnc. So, looking at the text console and the X server require different tools.

If I were trying to manage virtual machines, I'd want a solution that didn't care about what kind of kernel I was running.
