Xen users - Nov 2005 - How to get the X started on the DomU

Hi Folks,
I am successfully able to boot a DomU Suse machine on a Dom0 Debian Machine.
I have compiled the latest Xen-3.0-devel version of the xen. However when
starting the X, The X server Crashes, saying....
"Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) "

Any pointers, how to achieve this.

warm regards
Sanjay Upadhyay

HI Sanjay,

I think xenU couldn''t start Xwindows locally.  Could you try to start
vncserver and use vncviewer to remote connection?

BTW, VMX domain could start Xwindows directly. 

Thanks,
Yongkang You(Kangkang)

Correct; Sanjay, you should pretend a domU is a separate physical machine and 
access it over the network.  This means either:

* ssh -X to the domU to enable remote X windows communications
* Run vncserver in the domU
* Run Xnest in dom0 and get apps in the domU to connect to it
* Run FreeNX server in the domU

We''d like to make this possible in native domUs too...  when somebody
has
enough time to work on a virtual framebuffer device!

Cheers,
Mark

Personally, I think FreeNX is the best solution. Really.
It''s much faster than VNC, and it has suspend/resume.

Suse 10 includes freenx by default. RPMs for RedHat/Fedora is also 
available.
