Is there an alternative to use instead of the web based console for KVM guests? OpenVZ generally works fine, but I can not get a screen to show for KVM guests, it comes up blank.

I am running Firefox 3.6.13 on Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Ideally, I'd like to use a VNC client instead, is this possible?
 
yes, add some thing like that to inetd.conf for each VM:

Code:
5981 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/qm qm vncproxy 101 password

Where 5981 is the VNC port you want to use and 101 the ID of the VM.

That works like a champ... and was exactly what I was looking for! I remember seeing this a while back but couldn't remember the details....

Thanks :)

edit /etc/inetd.conf and then issue /etc/init.d/openbsd-inet restart
