What do you mean by AGP here? Do you mean "machine with physical AGP port", or "machine with graphics using the AGP aperature"? There's an increasing interest in putting Xen on desktop machines, so the former is debatable, but the latter (I think?) definitely isn't true. > Intel integrated chips are the only AGP > codebase user that are made any more, and they don't really use AGP > its just a legacy of the previous designs. > > Plenty of people are using older machines for testing, etc, so I wouldn't want to exclude them too lightly. I've got bug reports from people using older Radeons, etc. J _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
