Xen users - Apr 2008 - no xenfb in Fedora 8 Xen kernel?

Hi,

I''m trying to start Xorg on a PV Fedora8 guest running 2.6.21.7 fedora
stock
xen kernel, however, it seems that there''s no xenfb.ko driver included
in
the .rpm package.

The only included drivers I see in /lib/modules are:

emre@xenroot:/lib/modules/2.6.21.7-3.fc8xen/kernel/drivers/xen$ ls
blkback  blkfront  blktap  netback  netfront  pciback

however, if I look at the source rpm:

emre@xenroot:/d/xen/fedora8/xen-3.1.3/linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen$ ls
balloon   blktap   core     gntdev    netback   pcifront  util.c
blkback   char     evtchn   Kconfig   netfront  privcmd   xenbus
blkfront  console  fbfront  Makefile  pciback   tpmback   xenoprof

I can clearly see the fbfront directory, with "xenfb.c  xenkbd.c"
files
inside.

Am I missing something or is there a specific reason why these drivers were
excluded from the default build?

Thanks a lot for your comments.

Emre

I *believe* that F8 uses the standard Xorg Linux Frame Buffer, fbdev. I know 
that F8.9x development system (Rawhide) does. This may be related to F8 
having switched running PV domains from xen-vncfb to ''qemu-dm -M xenpv
...''

I remember the F8 initial PV install by the dvd used the Xen Frame Buffer, but 
that may have switched over to the Linux Frame Buffer around the same time 
they switched from xen-vncfb to qemu-dm. Since I updated my F8 PV domain to 
Rawhide, I can''t double check that for you.
