Hello,
I'm using fedora 7 with xen 3.1 from binaries rpm.
I try to use the sdl display, but when i configure my VM with
*<graphics type='sdl'/>
*
no window pops up.
Thanks to goolgle, I've found someone how got the same issue, and it
seems that qemu-dm was not compile whith sdl support.
What is the best way to recompile qemu-dm whith sdl support?
In fact, I'd like to have sdl for local display of my VM, and vnc for
remote access to it.
What configuration should I use to do so?
Thanks
Support for the SDL display in libvirt is incomplete[*]. You'd have
to bypass libvirt to use it.
Are you sure you really need SDL? It has a serious usability problem:
if you close its window, the PV framebuffer backend terminates, and
you have to reboot the guest to get another one[**]. Why can't you
stick to VNC? It works fine locally.
Sorry, I can't answer you question on qemu-dm.

[**] Actually, you can restart the backend by hand, if you know what
you're doing. Cheesy hacks in the backend make this work.
