This is a theoretical question as I haven’t tried this yet but am
looking for any direction. I’m still trying to wrap my head around
the XEN/Virtualization paradigm and what is/isn’t possible…
Is it possible to give the video card to DomU? I know you can
hide devices from Dom0 and others, but does this apply to the video card?
For one of my desktop boxes, it would be interesting to give a Windows
DomU the video card then I could VNC or NX to my other guests. I have two
motivations for doing this:
1. My
video card (NVidia chipset) doesn’t seem to have drivers that support Xen
(I believe there was an earlier message about that)
2. I
need to run at 2560x1600 which I haven’t been able to do without the
proper drivers (I’m not very familiar with X so this may still be
possible, I’m researching)
Any thoughts, ideas, or directions are appreciated!
