[Xen-users] How to get a framebuffer console on dom0

[p <p@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm trying hard to get a framebuffer console on a dom0 (Ubuntu 
7.04/Debian Etch with (virtual)framebuffer support compiled it + 
Xen3.1)  and already tried different tutorials, e.g. starting dom0 with 
kernel parameters
- "xencons=xvc console=xvc0 console=tty1"
or
- "xencons=ttyS0 console=ttyS0 video=xenfb" and appending 
"S0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttyS0" to /etc/inittab
In both cases the framebuffer seems to be used (the fonts is small) 
while booting, but at a certain point ['Loading essential drivers'] the 
console went back to normal mode.
I can see a /dev/fb0 device, too, but can't read from it and write to it 
seems to have no effect.
The same problem also happens on a domU (with sdl). After starting a 
domU, I receive a black window until I start a xserver.
How can I get my console output on this "black window" and why am I not 
able to get any windows on the screen (tried fluxbox and saw workspaces 
and menus, but nothing happens when I start a program)?
Many thanks

Philipp
