[Xen-users] Weird vnc console behavior

["David Dyer-Bennet" <dd-b@xxxxxxxx>]

And not just the usual cut-and-paste issues.

I've got a system with dom0 and also two virtualized domains running
Centos 5.2.

When I connect using vncviewer from my windows box to the console of the
virtual domain (displaying a text-mode console) I get weird behavior.  On
the command-line things are fairly good (I do notice lost characters,
which I don't think I really should when everything is this close
together, but they're quite rare).

However, when I run emacs from this virtual console, the letter 'x'
doesn't go through.  This is fairly inconvenient (C-x and M-x being rather
important).  The terminal type is "linux", which seems  reasonable. "stty
sane" doesn't change the behavior.  There is no .emacs file that might
have something weird in it.  The other letters seem to go through okay. 
"x" goes through fine on the command line.

I do sometimes see a "^[[D[" prefix at the start of the prompt in bash.

"Top" displays correctly, including when I turn on colors.

I can't access this domain any other way at the moment (I'm in the midst
of reconfiguring the networking, and this domU doesn't have net
connectivity right now), so I have to resolve how to do things through the
VNC console to get it configured to a useful state again.
