Hi Guys, I have question about the vfb option in the configure file. In the Mini-OS, if the option vfb = [''type=sdl''] is set, we can use the mouse to draw color squares. But, why doesn''t it work in the stubdom when I give the same setting? What can I do to make it work? Thanks. Yours sincerely, Bei Guan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Thanks. >The vfb option is for PV guests only, it is not even supposed to work with HVM guests; on the other hand stubdoms are used for HVM guests. So if you want an sdl window with stubdoms and an HVM guest you just have to add: device_model = ''/usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdom-dm'' sdl=1 to your VM config file. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
