[Xen-users] Resolved: SDL for HVM DomU stops working after Gentoo 2007.0 Dom0 upgrade
Unsurprisingly, this was a Gentoo-specific problem. In case anyone else has the same problem, here''s what fixed it. Gentoo 2007.0 needs the "sdl" USE flag to be set for xen domUs to use SDL. (Maybe it was true of 2006.0 as well, and somehow I accidentally unset the flag?) At any rate, the fix was to set the "sdl" USE flag (I used the "profuse" tool), and then to run "emerge -N world".
