qemu, which is used internally in the Xen HVM tools, provides a console via VNC natively.xentools33 includes HVM support. xentools3 is an older Xen version.Yes, but I wondered why SDL is commented out. I couldn't get any guest booted without sdl (I've removed the comment and rebuild xentools33). Maybe I made something wrong, but neither openbsd nor fedora guests giving me a console window. As far as I understood, vnc could help me out, but when this is the only way, why it's not a dependency?
Here's what I have at the end of my HVM configuration file: sdl = 0 vnc = 1 vncdisplay = 0 vncunused = 1 vncpasswd="" vnclisten='127.0.0.1' keymap='en-gb' usb=1 usbdevice='tablet'
net/vnc is the server side. You can use net/vncviewer to speak to an HVM Xen domU. "vncviewer localhost" will work with the above configuration (for the first domU).Also the version difference between net/vnc and net/vncviewer confuses me.
