[Fedora-xen] recompile for using sdl and vnc

[mathieu rohon]

With sdl display, I don't any mouse and keyboard issues, that's not the case
in VNC. Tha fact that te VM dies when the X session dies is not a matter for
me.
My aim is to have a Windows VM which works as if it was not in a VM. Thanks
to sdl display, the windows VM is more fluid. But I'd like to use VNC if I
can have the same result.

In a second hand, I'd like to have a local AND remote display. With VNC, I
can't have both at the same time. I though  that I could have it thanks to
SDL (for local) and VNC (for remote).

Is there a way, with VNC, to configure two access (local and remote) to the
VM at the same time?
