Re: [Xen-users] Is there any mid nvidia card compatible with linux drivers as dom0?

Hi,

what do you mean by "terrible black screen"? 

Black screen when starting X or no console? There are problems with the closed-source drivers from nvidia on X. On kernel 2.6 one had to compile the drivers with some extra options to make them xen aware. On kernel 3.x that trick doesn't seem to work anymore (at least for me, but found some other posts with ppl having the same problem) and you will get a black screen after X starts. 

But if you don't need the original nvidia drivers, you can always stick with nouveau that don't have any problem with nvidia cards in dom0.

Cheers,

Wojtek

Hello,

I want to replace my old Nvidia GT240, and i am looking for a new card. I want to use the new one in dom0, without the terrible black screen. Is there any Nvidia apart that the quadro ones that it will work? or anyone who can report that his card works with graphics as dom0.

I am thinking to buy a gtx550 or gtx560.

I dont like very much Ati, because the gt240 worked better for me that a radeon 6870 under linux (Ubuntu, arch, Fedora,...)

Greetings.
