[Jason Long]

Can you show me the correct parameter? I can't understand it.

By default, xen-tools only sets up virtual text consoles, no VNC.

See the man-page for xen-create-image and look for VNC there. There
are two example roles supplied ("xdm" and "gdm") with the source code
which install a VNC server.

But they seem horribly outdated with regards to package names --
"xserver-xfree86" no more exists for many Debian releases, you
probably need to replace that by "xserver-xorg". I've never used them
and I actually wasn't aware that they were part of the project when I
took it over from Steve.

Will try to fix them for the next release.

        Kind regards, Axel
