Do you mean vino ON the guest?

This is more of a RHEL/CentOS issue then Xen. Anyway, what do you need
it for? The solution might be different depending on your requirement.

Vino is started by gnome-session, thus it's only available after a
user logs in. You CAN setup gdm/kdm to automatically login as a user
everytime it starts, but I don't think this is what you want.

If you need vnc access to your guests (e.g. to monitor its startup
process), both HVM and PV domU can have a framebuffer or "GUI console"
that is accessible via vnc. The thing is you have to access dom0's IP
address instead of domU's. A faster, text-only console is also
available, but it's not accessible via vnc.

A third alternative is to setup vnc (not vino) service on domU.
Depending on how you set it ip, this would usually be the equivalent
of Windows Terminal Service instead of a console.

Which of the three do you need?
