Not is not:

"

# lsmod |grep xen

xennet                 62409  0 [permanent]

xenblk                 51497  2

"

I do not think on CentOS5 there is such module available? At least "modinfo
xen-fbfront" does not find it.

If that is same as kernel option

CONFIG_XEN_FRAMEBUFFER=y
then it should be  compiled in the kernel?


Can you post the output of "xenstore-ls" after creating the domU?

Little more info about my setup:

dom0 is setup on CentOS6 and has the following xen related packages
installed:

[root at xen2 ~]# rpm -qa |grep xen

centos-release-xen-6-2.el6.centos.x86_64

xen-licenses-4.2.4-29.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

xen-runtime-4.2.4-29.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

libvirt-daemon-xen-0.10.2.8-6.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

xen-hypervisor-4.2.4-29.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

xen-libs-4.2.4-29.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

xen-4.2.4-29.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

libvirt-daemon-driver-xen-0.10.2.8-6.el6.centos.alt.x86_64

The goal I am trying to achieve is to replicate the following setup which
works ok on a physical server: to be able to run X and issue xhost + as the
tomcat user, so a web app running on the same server can access MapXtreme
maps provided by Tomcat. I tried installing FreenNX server which did give
me a working desktop session for the tomcat user, but issuing xhost + there
did not help me (the webapp couldn't access the map service).

Best regards,
Peter
