Xen users - Feb 2006 - X11 on dom0

Hi,

I''m using xen-3.0.1 and want to get X working but every time that I try
start the X the screen still black and I can''t see or type anything.
Using a normal kernel everthing works fine. I remember that using
xen-2.0.7 X worked whitout a problem.

My system is a Debian Sarge and I''m using the same XF86Config-4 that I
use with normal kernel.

Someone is having or had this problem? What wrong I''m doing?

Thanks,

I presume you''re doing this in Dom0?

What do you get in /var/tmp/x0.log?

Is it possible that the driver for your graphics hardware is failing due
to incompatibility with Xen?

I''m certainly running X on my Dom0''s on my machines here,
without any
problem - but there''s a lot of stuff involved with X, and it only takes
one little part to fail for it to not work... And it can take a lot of
time to figure out what that one thing is... :-(

on debian is called /var/log/XFree86.0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log (depending 
wheter sarge or sid/etch is used).

in general it should work, but could be something kernel related that is 
missing in your dom0 kernel and that is available in debians stock kernel.

or are you using an "external" driver for your graphic cards? you
might have
to reinstall it because of the "new" kernel you are now using.
