I've got a Centos 5 server with Xen installed. I'm trying to install a Centos 6.5 VM on it but once all is installed, the X window will not sync or display. I think I understand that it's probably due to the settings on the vnc stuff. I've got Centos 6.2 VMs that act just fine. Is there a way I can modify the VM's screen settings either during installation or after installation? Hope that makes sense. Thanks steve campbell
What vnc are you using? On Mon, Jun 9, 2014 at 9:40 AM, Steve Campbell <campbell at cnpapers.com> wrote:> I've got a Centos 5 server with Xen installed.

Thanks >I am a bit confused, so let me flood this with usuless info: 1. I use TigerVNC Viewer 2. I take you mean the vm client installation step works fine but after that things get interesting. 3. If I need to run GUI stuff inside a vm client, I run a vnc server in the said client and then do port forwarding. Also, you can then customize the vnc for that specific client. In fact, I like to keep the console I get from vort/libvirt text only and let vnc in client do the X11 thingie.> steve campbell > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-virt mailing list > CentOS-virt at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
After installation: Why don't you SSH into the running guest from the host and change the X11 config files from the command prompt? If sshd is not running on your guest then you can try to stop (shutdown) the guest and use libguestfs to modify files inside the VM's disk.
