Hi,

I hope my question is correct on xen-users, please let me know if I should 
email to the dev list instead.

I'm running Linux 3.9.3 in an HVM on Xen 4.2.2 and enabled PV drivers 
("PVHVM"). I noticed there's a Xen framebuffer frontend but it will not load. 
It returns No such device, and in xenfb_init() of drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c 
(in linux sources) I see the following made explicit:

static int __init xenfb_init(void)
{
    if (!xen_pv_domain())
        return -ENODEV;

Is there something which allows the network and block device frontends to 
function as PV in HVMs which this driver cannot support?

Thanks,
Alex
