Hi,
I've succeeded to make the X.org running on Dom0. It seems that Xorg's nouveau driver caused SIGBUS issue. Custom nouveau kernel driver + Xorg fbdev driver seems stable. (Even if it doesn't work again, I'll try to use USB-HDMI adaptor next time)
So, I would like to test the virtio-video for the next step. Alex, how can I help you to test it?
FYI in case it is helpful the last version of the patch series to enable virtio (specifically virtio-mmio) in Xen by EPAM is here:
And it is funny because while I was sending this email, they sent a new version to xen-devel!
I'll have a look. I wanted to check if I could test ACPI without a firmware blob first but I guess I'll just stick to FDT for now.
I don't suppose there is an easy way of running the tools directly out of the source tree? The Debian package seems to have some scripting to deal with different versions but nothing that I could easily re-use to point at a custom install directory.

Every one has their own little way to do it.
On Debian I typically build the Xen tools myself, install them under /usr/local, and remove them (rm /usr/local/lib/*xen*) before installing a new version of them.
If you use Yocto, you don't have the issue because you get a new rootfs every time.
Otherwise, another way is to use something like https://gitlab.com/ViryaOS/viryaos-xen, which builds a tiny chroot-able Alpine Linux based environment with the Xen tools. Then, you can simply chroot into it on target. You can have as many as you like without issues, but you have to chroot into one of them to run `xl`.
