RE: [Xen-users] Xen 3.1.4: HVM Configuration

[Tammo Schuelke <tas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

VNC sessions are generally based on the virtual framebuffer device and input 
event frontend drivers (xenfb and xenkbd), iirc these also were recently merged 
with qemu to reduce code overhead. Just because it's a text console doesn't 
necessarily mean it's not "graphic", in fact as long as it relies on 
framebuffer access instead of a character device it actually is. Otherwise we 
could natively use the xen console with HVM guests.
