[PLUG] Xen configuration

[Robert Kopp]

I have Xen installed with one virtual machine created, but I'm not 
totally satisfied. The virtual machine was also 64-bit OpenSuSE 11.0, 
just like the host. 


Yast apparently will not allow me to get a screen resolution better 
than 800 x 600 in the guest, and there is no sound. The Internet 
connection works. The host hardware is fairly common: a K8V 
motherboard with an AMD64 3200+ CPU, not virtualization-enhanced, and 
a Geforce FX-5500 AGP card. 
I suspect that Qemu would provide better support than that. (I once 
had it running at 1280 x 1024 with the same display adapter.) Anyhow, 
how can I tune Xen for better performance?
