[Xen-users] SDL for HVM DomU stops working after Gentoo 2007.0 Dom0 upgrade

[Derek <xen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

 

I've got a strange problem.

 

I just upgraded from Gentoo 2006.0 to 2007.0 for my Dom0.  I did not reinstall Xen, nor the Dom0 kernel.  And didn't change any Xen configuration files.

 

My SDL-based DomU running Win-XP no longer works.  After xm start, I see the domU in the xm list, but it never accumulates any run time, and the window never pops up.

 

If I switch to VNC-based instead (by setting sdl=0 in the file), it works fine.  I can connect to the Windows session from a VNC viewer, just fine.

 

Any suggestions?  There's nothing obvious in any files in /var/log, although I don't really know what I'm looking for.  I'll post a tail of any log file of interest if anyone has suggestions.

 
My config file, which has not changed since this worked under the older Gentoo Dom0:

import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 512
name = "WindowsXP"
usb = 1
usbdevice = "tablet"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, mac=00:16:3e:00:00:94, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/main/win_xp_guest_domain,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r']
device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'
boot="c"
sdl=1
vnc=0
vncviewer=0
stdvga=0
serial='pty'
ne2000=0
audio=1
soundhw='all'
localtime=0

Derek.
