Actually, if you do that, you can log into ESX1 - it's actually a modified RHEL 3, I think. It's the remote admin GUI that you need WinDoze for.
VMware's a possibility. Would I need to remove the kvm package? Do I have to keep libvirtd off?
You could.
I still wonder what is causing this. I couldn't find any mention of a similar problem, including on my desktop in my office, where I have a very similar setup, with four kvm guests, two Fedora, one Centos 6 and one Windows XP.
It keeps coming back to sounding like a hardware problem, maybe the video card.
