When I create a HVM VM, by default I have the console window of the VM
open all the time when it is running.

Sys-net is HVM by default but there is no console window.

How do I set this up for other HVM VMs?

The following settings work for me:

1. Set "debug" to "False" in qvm-prefs

2. Set "gui" to "False" and "gui-emulated" to "False"

The only problem is qubes (or xen) keeps cashed info on whether to show emulated console. Sometimes the settings work immediately, sometimes after a reboot, sometimes I need to delete old vm files laying abound.

Ah thanks. How do I call up the console window if I need it -- is `xl
console` (or qvm-console-dispvm) the only option?
