similar to: [RFC] PVFB: Add refresh period to XenStore parameters?

As many of us are all too painfully aware we have completely different VNC server implementations for paravirt vs fullyvirt Xen guests. The former based on libvncserver, the latter integrated into QEMU. There are many new and interesting ideas being tried out in the VNC server space in particular wrt to virtualization and having to implement them all twice is not very desirable. Also

Add a thread watching the xenbus shutdown control path and notifies a wait queue. Add HYPERVISOR_shutdown convenient inline for minios shutdown. Add proper shutdown to the minios test application.

The original qemu svn commit is the following: git-svn-id: svn://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu/trunk@6336 c046a42c-6fe2-441c-8c8c-71466251a162 Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> --- diff --git a/console.c

The following series of 10 patches is a merge of the xenfb and xenconsoled functionality into the qemu-dm code. The general approach taken is to have qemu-dm provide two machine types - one for xen paravirt, the other for fullyvirt. For compatability the later is the default. The goals overall are to kill LibVNCServer, remove alot of code duplication and/or parallel impls of the same concepts, and

Hello, The following two patches add an additional offset part in the FB resize event. Samuel _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Goodmorning, I''m currently playing with XEN/arm on my Allwinner A20 (cubieboard2) I would like to get the XENFB driver working on domU. But currently in xen/arm there''s no support for VFB, atleast qemu is not supported. But this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po1IeElg8tg and this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Km6gBnIqaWo is showing a working framebuffer. So there are

From: Ben Cressey <bcressey@amazon.com> The commit "minios: refactor xenbus state machine" caused "/state" to be appended to the local value of nodename. Previously the nodename variable pointed to dev->nodename. The xenbus_rm() calls were not updated to reflect this change, and refer to paths that do not exist. For example, shutdown_blkfront() for vbd 2049 would

Hi folks There are two components, which are currently not included in the main utils package: ioemu, xenfb. ioemu is currently shipped in its own package, xenfb is not shipped at all. Should we fold them into the main utils package for simplicity? ioemu adds 300k to the package and 4300k in one dependency (libsdl1.2debian). xenfb adds another 200k to the package and 200k in one dependency

Hi all, I''m trying to expand the screen resolution of my guest when using vnc. It appears I need to use the extra variable in my guest config file and xenfb. I pass it in like this: extra = ''xenfb.video=8,1024,768'' I can see this being passed to the kernel when it boots but it doesn''t change the vnc screen resolution. I also see this when I type ps -ef |

Hello all Xen devels, I''m writing howto''s in brazilian portuguese language about Xen-3.3.0 stubdom, pv-grub and others configurations.

Hi all, I recently installed Squeeze, followed but Xen 4.0. A few notes of things I've run into while installing. The network script part of the xend-config.sxp does not appear to work. Everything would boot find until I uncommented that line and tried to set it up per the Debian Xen wiki. I managed to get bridging to work using the debian network bridge tools, brctl. Xen does not

samuel, I have a try with HVM stubdomain on r17062, but failed to make on 32b platform. Attached patch can fix it, but don''t know if okay. After installation, I failed to start stubdom. So I created it manually and got following debug mesg(both HVMdomain and stubdom are created) Can you give some lights on following questions: 1. I use default vnclisten. Does it matter? 2.

Hello all, Here is a new iteration of the patch series that implements a transport for guest and host communications. I've tested for compatibility (old qemu & new kernel, new qemu & old kernel, new qemu & new kernel) and it all works fine*. There are a few items on my todo list but this works well. New since last send: - live migration support** - write path in the guest
