Expand Up @@ -94,4 +94,18 @@ an error in the X log:
and a non-working pointer. The workaround I described above tells the X server
to ignore the relative axes and to really expect absolute co-ordinates.

Conclusion
----------

* The PVFB code is present and works at least as well as "vncterm" for
text-based stuff.
* The X configuration needs to be slightly tweaked -- it doesn't just work
out of the box. This is still better than "vncterm" where X will never
work (unless you like ascii-art)
* We should consider switching to PVFB by default, on a guest-per-guest
basis (after checking the kernels have new enough frontends)
* We should develop a plan to fix the niggles with X, particularly the
relative vs absolute mouse. If necessary perhaps we need to supply the
guest with two pointers: one relative-only and one absolute-only?
