The configuration doesn't change, but now QEMU is responsible for being the
backend instead of xen-vncfb. The /var/log/xen/qemu-dm-<domid>.log file
will print out a message for each of the xenbus state transitiions the QEMU
backend goes through when connecting to the frontend PVFB.

That's looking correct.

The QEMU logfile is the best place to look. And compare what state it is
in, with the info in xenstore associated with the front/back ends. If you
wnat any help, mail me the output of 'xenstore-ls' and the QEMU logfile
and I can see if anything obvious is wrong.
