I haven''t heard anyting on this in a couple of days so I thought I''d try one more post to see if anyone has a response: I know that there have been mixed confirmations about getting X working within domU''s. But for those who have actually got it working, I would be interested in finding out your experiences. Currently, when I try to run Xorg -configure or startx, it complains about xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory). My domU is currently running Fedora Core 3.

What are you actually aiming to do? Give a real physical monitor to the domU (i.e. dual head with a different head for each domain?) or just get a graphical interface to the domU is a window in dom0?

X would work fine as you describe, VNC also works pretty well and NX should perform quite nicely. In the medium term, we''re likely to get a virtual framebuffer device so that the domUs display system doesn''t need to be network-aware. The virtual console switching solution you describe has also been discussed and may be implemented at some stage. Long term, a virtual 3D device (high performance 3D graphics from a domU, in a window under dom0) is something we''d like to see.

Re: [Xen-users] RE: Getting X Working in domU''s
I was looking to start an xserver on it so that I could display it on tty8 or tty9, for example. I guess I could go into my domU''s console (or through ssh) and export DISPLAY to my dom0. That would probably be a workaround. But It would be nice to change tty''s to 8 and be on one domU, tty9 for a different domU, etc.. _____________________________ SUNY - ITEC Information Technology Exchange Center Systems Programmer/Analyst E-mail: Joe.Hoot@itec.suny.edu Office: (716)878-4644 Cell: (716)908-6292 Fax: (716)878-3485 _____________________________ Mark Williamson <mark.williamson@cl.cam.ac.uk> Sent by: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com 04/21/2005 09:50 AM To xen-users@lists.xensource.com cc Joe.Hoot@itec.suny.edu Subject Re: [Xen-users] RE: Getting X Working in domU''s What are you actually aiming to do?

Joe, What I''ve done is start a VNC server on domU and connect to it (vncviewer) from another box.
