VNC with KVM-84 doesn't work

[Robert Wimmer <r.wimmer@tomorrow-focus.de>]

Hi!

I'm using kernel 2.6.28-r2 (Gentoo) and kvm-84 (Intel Xeon CPU X7350,
x86_64, host and guest OS and kernel are the same)

I've normally bound the VNC port to 127.0.0.1:4444 (or 4445, ... if more
KVMs are running). But now "netstat -tlpn" doesn't show any KVM bound to
localhost. KVM-83 and all other versions before haven't had this
problem. I'm always starting the KVMs like this (snippet of the start
script):

$KVM -m $MEMORY \
-smp $CPU \
-curses \
-daemonize \
-k de \
-vnc "$VNC" \
-monitor "$MONITOR" \
-localtime \
-pidfile /var/run/kvm-$KVMNAME.pid \
-drive
file=/data/kvm/kvmimages/$KVMNAME.qcow2,if=virtio,boot=on \
-net nic,vlan=104,model=virtio,macaddr=$MACADDR_B \
-net tap,vlan=104,ifname=tap.b.$KVMNAME,script=no \
-net nic,vlan=96,model=virtio,macaddr=$MACADDR_F \
-net tap,vlan=96,ifname=tap.f.$KVMNAME,script=no

$VNC is 127.0.0.1:1 for example. KVM images running fine but no VNC port
to connect. Connecting with telnet to the kvm and entering "info vnc"
tells me "VNC server disabled". But I haven't disabled it.

Additionally after starting a KVM with this script I don't see the
cursor of my bash anymore. The screen get's cleared, the prompt appears
again and I've to type "exit" on the shell blindly and reconnect to the
host to get my cursor back.

Thanks for any hints!
Robert
