Re: [Xen-users] Paravirtualized Linux with graphics (X Window)?

[Thiago Camargo Martins Cordeiro <thiagocmartinsc@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Xen Live CD does that from scratch! You just need to change three files, one in dom0 and another one in the domU.

In dom0 /etc/xen/xend-confi.sxp configuration file:
(vnc-listen '0.0.0.0')
(vncpasswd '#vncpassword2001')

In the dom0 in your domU configuration file, do:
vfb         = [ 'type=vnc,vncdisplay=10' ]
extra       = 'console=tty0'

and in your domU /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, do:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "fbdev"
EndSection

 You be able to start X in your domU, using VNC or SDL
 I'm on Debian Lenny 5.0.

Good luck!

Excellent! But then would you mind explaining how to do that from scratch?

That would be nice, but using standard SDL or VND works out-of-the
box, without having to install FreeNX.

I will try FreeNX though, after figuring out how to have X Window in
PV Linux (?)
