Got it.
Couple of things that glare at tme:
(XEN) CPU0: VMX disabled by BIOS.
(XEN) VMX: failed to initialise.
(XEN) Intel machine check reporting enabled
(XEN) I/O virtualisation disabled
So, no VMX == no HVM. And also no VT-d enabled. Which means when you
installed FC13 you were doing PV install (which is OK). If you want to
run HVM guests you will need to enable the VMX option "Virtualization" in the
BIOS.
Next glaring thing. Your Dom0 Xorg log show that:
[ 1836.298] drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 7
[ 1836.298] drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:02:00.0
[ 1836.298] (EE) [drm] failed to open device
[ 1836.298] (WW) Falling back to old probe method for fbde
Xorg Nouveau driver tried to use the drm device but failed. This is
due to the fact that the nouvoua driver API is off-sync with the Xorg driver.
The in-kernel drivers shows:
pci 0000:02:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[drm] nouveau 0000:02:00.0: Detected an NV50 generation card (0x092980a2)
[drm] Initialized nouveau 0.0.15 20090420 for 0000:02:00.0 on minor 0
while the Xorg is:
[ 1836.294] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/nouveau_drv.so
[ 1836.294] (II) Module nouveau: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[ 1836.294] compiled for 1.8.2, module version = 0.0.16
[ 1836.294] Module class: X.Org Video Driver
[ 1836.294] ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 7.0
See the 0.0.15 and 0.0.16? They need to be in sync - and if you try just to
change the version in either file and see how that works - it wont (I tried).
You can get the DRM backport kernel drivers I did and I believe they are 0.0.16,
but that tree is a bit crusty (look up details on the PVOPS DRM wiki).
Either way, this is not a big problem - you are running X under Dom0, so
things are peachy.
The Xorg from the guest side shows this:
154 [ 49.161] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOBLANK: Invalid argument
which is harmless. It basically is trying to see if it can suspend the screen,
similary to DPMS. Well, it really does not matter as the screen it has is
a VNC window, so...
The way you start you X by doing 'startx' is not kosher anymore. The Kernel
ModeSetting put things on its head such that you need to be more careful. The
proper
way is to do 'exec /sbin/init 5' or 'telinit 5' in your VNC window for the
guest.
That should work.
The "xenpro-guest-alpha.lspci.out" you attached is definitly not from your
guest.
Can you re-run it on the guest?
I am curious to see your screenshots of your VNC window and the xterm from your
guest.
