Now I know how far you got. Maybe vnc doesn't have anything to say, because of 
a mis-configuration of the frame buffer. I'm not sure how you created the 
domu, but on CentOS dom0 and with virt-manager, it should have set that up 
for you correctly. Since this is Debian w/xen 3.2.1, double check your domu's 
xorg.conf. (ssh into the domain, or shut it down and mount it.) Modern xens 
(since 3.1.2) use the video device 'fbdev'. Check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log 
before and after any changes. Hope that was more helpful.
