No. I got it wrong. Right now writing to Dom0's frame buffer from Dom0 
is working.
I am trying to run the program on DomU to to write to frame buffer of 
guest DomU and it's not working

I modified the "-xen-domid" and "-name" of qemu-system-i386  to match 
the domain name and id of the guest Dom, the result is same.
The XENFB_TYPE_UPDATE event sent by guest Linux did NOT reach to QEMU 
side (xenfb_handle_events() of xenfb.c).
should it be processed here?

Thank you for the sharp thought and prompt reply.
