Since upgrading to 3.1.0, I don''t think the Ctrl-Alt-2 key combination works under VNC anymore... it certainly doesn''t give me the QEmu console... Any suggestions?

You can enable it using a config file option... let me see... I think what you want is to put: monitor=''yes'' into your config file for the domain. There''s probably something you can change in xend-config.sxp to make this the default for everything. The security hole in question was that the Qemu monitor gives you the ability to do things like change the virtual CD-ROM by specifying a file on the host filesystem. As you can imagine, exporting this to guests caused security issues when the VNC display was being exported to untrusted users of the virtual machine! Cheers, Mark -- Dave: Just a question.

Hi all,
I have a fedora guest system which I installed using virt-install and
initially chose not to enable graphics support so I could install from my
terminal window. Now, however, I would like to enable graphics. My xen
config file originally used to look like:
...
nographic=1
...
and I removed that line and changed it to
...
vnc=1
...
to emulate what showed up in an automatically generated xen config file for
a guest system with graphics support enabled. However, the graphics still
do not appear to be working. Does anyone have any suggestions or
work-arounds? Thanks in advance.
Daniel Lee

Would have saved some major headaches having to reboot servers to change cdroms.
