Thanks, good to know.

Now I am trying to setup open suse 12.1...
I hope this release doesn't have the mouse problem.

No, I am trying to start the domU without any extra line and the X
session doesn't
start as a normal user. It is strange actually, since in the hvm domU
it was starting
without any problem.

The problem is that the config file that you may find in the domU's
/boot directory is
configured to have A LOT of modules to be compiled. It should be modified,
removing most of them, that are not necessary for sure. I don't do it, because
I don't want to make mistakes, removing something necessary for the domU.
In case I'll compile as it is...

Oh yes, you are right, but this wouldn't be a problem, since it is
sufficient for me
to go to the domU kernel source dir and issue the following command:
make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/mnt/loop
after having mounted the img file in the loop dir.

Yes, I have to do it manually each time.
