Hello,

In xen/docs/src/user.tex, one can read that the default Linux xen
console for domU is tty, but in linux/drivers/xen/console/console.c,
starting from Xen 3.2 xc_mode is initialized by default to XC_XVC;
(because thanks to pvfb we can now have proper VT support)

One problem is that this breaks previous installations, see bugzilla
#1223.  In any case, the documentation and examples should be updated.

Samuel
