Do you have to use the local video at all? What happens if you use freenx and run in a session started from a remote NX client?
Doesn't freenx use X? I haven't installed but will try it.
Yes, it uses X, but it doesn't use the local video hardware.
What I did try was to leave X off on workstation and built a fedora
guest. I
also connected to the workstation from another machine via ssh and I
tried
running the virt-viewer via X-forwarding, it stayed up for about 10 or 15 minutes and crashed. Since I could see the console on the work station
then,
it showed a kernel panic.
Not sure what that means. Freenx would at least keep the sesson active when you disconnect.
I was trying to say, but not very well, that when qemu-kvm is running a guest and X is running, whether it's on the local video hardware or not, I get a kernel panic.
So now I've found I can run X without problems and I can run qemu-kvm without problems, but I cannot run both at the same time.
I wonder if an older version of the kvm package would work around this, or maybe an older version of the kernel.
kernel: 2..18-274.3.1.el5 kvm: 83-239.el5.centos
After rebooting I opened a terminal via ssh and it seems ok -- up for
about
30 minutes so far, I'll check in the morning.
The trouble with that is I usually connect to the workshop via vnc, so I'm not sure the guest will be of much use.
A vncserver session not attached to the local console should also
avoid local hardware issues - but freenx/NX is nicer to use.
