Can you please provide your hardware specifications, you seem to be running unmodified OS.

Hi John, Thanks for taking my question!

I actually tried minutes ago "xm console 1" and I get the following
error message: " xenconsole: xs_get_domain_path(): No such file or
directory "

Do you know what xs_get_domain_path is?  How do I get it installed?

BTW, You have a number of references to VNC, in which configuration file
should I look for it?

Thx!

Try this homeboy...

1) Type 'netstat -nat' at the command line and see if you have any VNC
servers listening, they'll be port 580x or 590x, 'x' being what number
Xen
has given (or you have assigned) the VM.

2) It might sound stupid but assuming your VM starts (you see it with xm
list), commenting out the VNC/SDL lines can make it run in some kind of
different/faster mode...

3) try a stdvga = 1 instead of the VNC lines, a different, albeit slower
mode...
