Take care to use the correct version of the virtual machine driver pack for your
system.
6 Reboot the VM Guest system.
7.4 SUSE Linux Virtual Machines
On current SUSE Linux Enterprise systems, Xen is fully integrated into the product. It
may be used as VM Host Server or VM Guest.
To change the size of the VNC display, an extra option must be supplied to the Xen
boot options.
To change the VNC resolution to 1024x768 using 8MB of memory in SLES11, simply
edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the following line to the end of the
kernel line:
xenfb.video="8,1024,768
For SLES10, the same parameter is needed. However it must be added to the extra boot
parameters of the configuration.
TIP: Mouse Synchronization in VNC
During the installation of SUSE Linux Enterprise, it may happen that the mouse
in VNC is not in sync with the mouse of your controlling X Server. To get both
in sync, it is advisable to let SaX2 create an X configuration before the installa-
tion starts.
This can be done by adding the parameter sax2=1 to the Additional Arguments
in the Create Virtual Machine wizard.
