Xen users - Feb 2007 - VNC console issues with fully-virtualized guests

Hi, gang.  I''m having major issues with getting the VNC consoles to
accept keystrokes.  I''m trying to get Windows 2003 Server SP2 to run
as a fully-virtualized guest.  I get the VNC window for the installer,
but I can''t get it to accept any keystrokes (e.g. hitting the F5 so
I can tell it to use a standard PC HAL).  If I opt to use SDL, I get
no console at all.

Hardware: Opteron 1210 on an Abit mobo with nVidia chipset (running
the vesa driver due to instabilities with nVidia driver).  2GB RAM.

Config file for the guest domain:
----------------------------- CUT HERE -------------------------------
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search(''64'', arch):
    arch_libdir = ''lib64''
else:
    arch_libdir = ''lib''
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
memory = 512
shadow_memory = 8
name = "win2k3"
vcpus=1
pae=1
acpi=0
apic=0
vif = [ ''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0'' ]
disk = [ ''file:/var/lib/xen/images/win2k3.img,hda,w'',
''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r'' ]
device_model = ''/usr/'' + arch_libdir +
''/xen/bin/qemu-dm''
boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=0
vncpasswd=''''
nographic=0
stdvga=0
usb=1
usbdevice=''mouse''

Any help would be immensely appreciated!
