Hi everyone,
I''m really new with xen. I just succeded installing and using Vista as
a
xen guest through VNC. But there is a little problem : the mouse cursor
is not fluent. It freezes a lot. The xen serveur and my VNC viewer are
on computers on the same LAN network (100mbps). Using Vista with this
problem is frustrating and user time-consuming.
Here is my xen guest config file :
kernel = "/usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/boot/hvmloader"
builder=''hvm''
device_model = ''/usr/lib64/xen-3.2-1/bin/qemu-dm''
disk = [''tap:aio:/xen/win_vista_c.img,hda,w'']
vnc=1
vnclisten="192.168.1.167"
boot="dc"
memory="2048"
Is someone have a tips?
Thank you a lot,
nm

To get even better GUI, you should setup Vista''s remote desktop access. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Thank you for you help. usbdevice=''tablet'' works much better indeed. But you''re right, this is not excellent. I will try to use rdp. I have other questions so I''ll create new threads.
