[Fedora-xen] Re: VNC and FreeNX disrupted is lost under XEN Dom0 kernel (mouse and keyboard are frozen) - resolved

[Jan Andrejkovic]

Hello,

I resolved the problem by installing 3rd party graphic driver. My
motherboard is Via J7F2WE2G and in the xorg.conf I had defafult Vesa driver.
This driver caused below problem under FC6XEN kernel (also under
2.6.19-1.2911.fc6xen). I also noticed that under FC6XEN my xorg log had this
error at the end:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

As I explained the server was working but because of this error it was not
working properly.

The problem was resolved by installing Via OpenChrome drivers from
http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia/ and also I updated Xorg.conf using 'X
-configure'

Regards,

Jan
