It works fine, except that the vnc connection doesn't update the picture, so I have to open and close the vnc window for updating the picture, until I have enabled remote desktop in windows. I also tried to pass through some USB ports with success, the passing through my intel hd 4000 gfx, does not work even in secondary mode.

Thanks for reply.
I built successfull ovmf with xen-unstable with this changes:
./configure --enable-ovmf
vi Config.mk
OVMF_UPSTREAM_URL ?= git://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git
OVMF_UPSTREAM_REVISION ?= master
# Added patch for support gcc4.7 and rispective change in 
tools/firmware/ovmf-makefile

After that I tested it adding bios="ovmf" on domU's xl cfg.
The domU starts but performance is very poor (similar to qemu without 
xen or kvm or worse).
Tried with Windows 7 and Fedora 18: they start loading but never reach a 
complete boot (even after about 10 minutes).

Are there any others specific task to do?

Thanks for any reply.
