What's tgv?

Right. You could post the output of the 'yum install' session.

This gets back to using the vnc server builtin to xen (via xen-vncfb or 
qemu-dm, depending on the version of your dom0 kernel & xen and whether you 
are installing the domu PV or HVM.) You won't be able to use vnc-server on 
the domu until you work out the X11 dependencies.

Using the vnc server capabilities of xen on dom0 just requires having the 'Xen 
Virtual Frame Buffer' (fbdev) installed in domu as your video driver. This is 
set in the domu's /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Of course, that means you still need to 
get X working at least minimally in your domu.

What is your dom0 kernel & xen versions?
