The solution here is to disable VNC/SDL and enable only when domain config says so. This still make VNC set when only <video/> is present (without <graphics type='vnc'/>), but at least there is a way make domain really headless. Below is patch which implement that approach. Note that it makes a big change in behaviour - it can make user's configuration broken (if he/she relied on this bug). Disclaimer: I've tested it only with qemu in stubdomain. -----8<----- From 37126eea6927f38fcb7f7f1190143fd7de54e9e6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marek Marczykowski <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2013 19:48:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] libxl: disable VNC and SDL until explicitly enabled Cc: Marek Marczykowski-Górecki <[email protected]> Otherwise when VM have no graphics defined, it is still enabled (with some libxl defaults).
