Hello, I''ve installed setup an XEN server on Debian, with the Debian Xen kernel & packets. The installation of Windows 2003 on a virtual machine works without big problems. I installed the System with the SDL hvm interface. Now I want to start the Windows 2003 machine in the background and only open the graphical console when I need it. I dont found any possibility to detach the SDL console without stopping the virtual machine. So I think I must use the VNC console interface for this purpose. I''ve activated VNC in the hvm config and connected with xvncviewer to the vnc server. The vnc performance is very poor, also the real cursor and the vnc cursor always have an ~1cm dictance on the screen. Normally the vnc cursor and the real cursor are on top of each other. What can be wrong? How I can fix this? greetings Fabian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

It just works - but not more. For (possible) optimizations have a look here: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Research/SRG/netos/xen/readmes/user/user.html#SECTION04340000000000000000 Otherwise I would strongly suggest you go for some kind of RDP remote connection, like using rdesktop if you are sitting on a Linux client.

I hope there will be another method to administrate the virtual machine over network. The SDL console is better useable over SSH X11 forwarding than VNC, the only problem is that I can''t attach the console. :/ An attach function would be fine.> Otherwise I would strongly suggest you go for some kind of RDP remote > connection, like using rdesktop if you are sitting on a Linux client.Yes RDP works fine, I''m allready using it. But only works if the guest OS is allready seted up. greetings Fabian _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
vnc is always slow on windows. There are a few thing that you can try - tight vnc, beter encoding/compressing and single cursor - ultravnc with high speed mirror driver (for the display) cheers xming Fabian Holler wrote:> On 10.08.2006 20:58, Andrej Radonic wrote: > >>> The vnc performance is very poor, also the real cursor and the vnc >>> cursor always have an ~1cm dictance on the screen.

VNC will work better if i install it in the virtual machine.> Fabian Holler wrote: >> On 10.08.2006 20:58, Andrej Radonic wrote: >> >>>> The vnc performance is very poor, also the real cursor and the vnc >>>> cursor always have an ~1cm dictance on the screen.
