Hi,
I''m trying to get a WinXP guest to appear full screen on my RHEL5
system.
I do the following:
[root@mybox ~]# /usr/sbin/xm create /etc/xen/winxp.hvm
Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp.hvm".
Error: Errors were found at line 190 while processing /etc/xen/winxp.hvm:
full-screen=1
winxp.hvm will "work" just fine if I comment out the full-screen line,
although it won''t be full screen.
What could I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you need a X running in your dom0. regards Yves Just Anidiot a écrit :> Hi, > > I''m trying to get a WinXP guest to appear full screen on my RHEL5 system. > > I do the following: > > [root@mybox ~]# /usr/sbin/xm create /etc/xen/winxp.hvm > Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp.hvm". > Error: Errors were found at line 190 while processing /etc/xen/winxp.hvm: > full-screen=1 > > winxp.hvm will "work" just fine if I comment out the full-screen line, > although it won''t be full screen. > > What could I doing wrong? > > Thanks in advance. > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >-- Yves-Gaël Chény Responsable développements techniques Responsable Achats techniques Responsable RH technique 261 route de Clisson 44230 St Sébastien sur Loire Tel : 02 40 97 62 67 - 08 73 77 24 91 http://www.tranquilitsystems.com/ yves-gael.cheny@tranquil-it-systems.fr Tranquil IT Systems .

The fullscreen option in the config file is currently not handled. You can get around it by changing the device_model line in the config file to point to a wrapper script that calls qemu-dm with the -full-screen option added. This has worked for me, with the small caution that it becomes pretty much impossible to get back to the desktop without shutting down the fullscreen VM since it steals keyboard and mouse focus and doesn''t give it back with ctrl-alt either. I run my fullscreen mode VMs on a second X server started in another VT. There''s clearly some work left to be done with Xen wrt fullscreen mode. /Trolle On 5/22/07, Just Anidiot <jistanidiot@gmail.com> wrote:> > Hi, > > I''m trying to get a WinXP guest to appear full screen on my RHEL5 system. > > I do the following: > > [root@mybox ~]# /usr/sbin/xm create /etc/xen/winxp.hvm > Using config file "/etc/xen/winxp.hvm". > Error: Errors were found at line 190 while processing /etc/xen/winxp.hvm: > full-screen=1 > > winxp.hvm will "work" just fine if I comment out the full-screen line, > although it won''t be full screen. > > What could I doing wrong? > > Thanks in advance. > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Also, you don''t have to run X in dom0, you just need to run X on the machine that is displaying things. E.g I run all my domains on machine A, but all the display is going on machine B. Machine B must have X running (or something that can "behave like X", e.g you can use "vnc" display on a Windows machine as long as you have a vncclient on that Windows machine). -- Mats> > _______________________________________________ > Xen-users mailing list > Xen-users@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users > > >_______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
