That talks about upstream xen, not xen packaging in openSUSE. xl/libxl is the default, preferred toolstack in upstream Xen 4.1.x. > Looks like the author > posts on this list too.

In the end, we didn't have time to ensure xl/libxl was baked enough serve as a replacement for xm/xend, let alone ensuring the tools consuming libxl (e.g. libvirt) were feature parity with the legacy toolstack counterparts. Hopefully we will have time to do this during openSUSE12.2 development cycle. BTW, I can reproduce your problem and will take a look as time permits. Regards, Jim
