Next problem: the DomU runs, but it starts life in a 640x480 window.
The full-screen config option doesn't work, and I can't find any
documentation on how to get a bigger window. I can change the window
size by using Windoze properties to increase resolution up to 1Kx768,
but it won't go any higher than that. And the mouse is almost unusably
slow. I'll try giving the domU a whole core, but I'm not optimistic. If
you can work out how to fix that lot, I'd be very grateful... :)
 
 
 Evan, my experience is that is much nicer to work with a windows vm 
connecting via
rdesktop.
 
 
I think you're right, but -
1 - my terminal is a Windows box, and I think rdesktop is Unix-only, and
 2 - I'm running Win2K, which I don't think has any built-in terminal 
services stuff.
 Given that, I'm now running vncserver on the Win2K domU, and a vnc 
client on the Win2K terminal. This actually works pretty well. I can get 
full screen, and the mouse works properly. There is a problem, which is 
that the pixel block update in vnc is *very* slow, so you can't move 
windows around too much. However, it's a *lot* better than using SDL on 
the Dom0.
 I don't suppose you know of anything like rdesktop for Win2K? Without 
paying for it? :)
Evan
