After reading about Bernhard Kuhns configuration I got optimistic about getting this configuration running. (see http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/CoolConfigurations ) However, I don't seem to be able to get passed the console tty issue, which X somehow still seems to be needing: Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 I tried creating the device with mknod, but although it now exists, X is still not able to open it. (tried a cat /dev/tty0, didn't work either, so I guess the device really doesn't exist in Xen dom1 ). Bernhard seems to have managed to get it to work somehow... Anyone know how? Since I do have the necessary hardware available in dom1, is there a way to get the console working in dom1 with my second graphics card and the usb keyboard? I would not mind hacking the console driver a bit to fix this (although I'm not familiar with it, so might be a while before I get anything usefull). Warm regards, Mark.
