Xen users - Oct 2008 - White screen after logon for Xen with Ubuntu Hardy

Hi,
 
 I''ve been trying to get this going for days, and I''m really
desperate.  I installed Xen on Hardy, and rebooted. However, when I log in, I
get a white blank screen except for the mouse pointer. The screensaver still
runs, because I noticed it coming on.
 
 When I press Ctrl+Alt+Bspace, I see the wallpaper momentarily before going back
to the login screen, which appears ok. I''m able to log in to the
failsafe Gnome desktop correctly.
 
 My graphics card is a Radeon HD2600XT, and I''ve tried both the open
source and proprietary drivers for Radeon, together with various resolutions,
all to no avail. The vesa driver works though, but its low resolution
won''t suffice for daily use.
 
 The problem does not occur without Xen, i.e., if I boot the original Hardy
kernel, everything''s fine. I''ve tried Xen 3.2 and 3.3. Does
anyone have similar experience or solutions?

Yours Sincerely,
Beng Heng

Are you using Compiz for desktop effects?  I''ve had this at various 
times and it''s caused by one of the compiz options (eg direct
rendering,
if memory serves).   You may be able to log in enough to turn it off by 
running "DISPLAY=:0 metacity --replace" from the command line
somewhere.
