The following series of patches is a roll-up of everything needed for
the paravirt framebuffer to work for me.
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-07/msg00156.html
is the last mail about the basic idea and there's also
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VirtualFramebuffer

This set of patches includes all of the basic infrastructure from the
previous patchset.  Also, for infrastructure, it includes Amos
Waterland's work to get xenconsole using /dev/xvc0 instead of taking
over the primary tty devices.

The new patches add support for launching sdlfb or vncfb from xend if
you've configured your guest to do so.  We also
set /<dompath>/console/use_graphics to let the guest know that it should
default to the graphical console.  Otherwise, it falls back to using the
xenconsole device.

Jeremy
