Package: linux-image-2.6.18-5-xen-vserver-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch2
Severity: normal

I have two screens. screen0 usually uses i810, and screen1 uses nvidia
or nv.  For this testing I've also attempted to use vesa in attempts of
any usability of xorg on dom0. All tested senarios do not function under
xen, but work well under linux-image-2.6.18-4-686-bigmem.  My attempts
also include using screen0 only.

$ lspci -nn | grep -i vga

[GeForce4 MX 420] [10de:0172] (rev a3)

On a xen kernel, xorg+i810 provide these interesting logs in Xorg.0.log:

I have copious logs and other details I don't think need to clutter this
report.  I'll retain them if you need more information.

Thanks!

the 2.6.18 linux images from Etch are no longer supported, thus closing
this bug report.  As both Xen or vserver stayed out of tree it is very
unlikely that they improved a lot since.

With modern hardware kvm or lxc (linux containers) are recommended.
if you still haven't upgraded to Lenny please notice that Etch has
no security support any more as of today:

if you can reproduce said bugs with 2.6.32 linux images from
unstable please shout on said box and bug can be reopened:
reportbug -N <bugnr>

thank you for your report.
