XEN and DRI

Hi there,

I'm wondering if it would be possible to use the graphics card at full speed when using xen. Shouldn't it be possible for dom0 to use the DRI drivers of the card?

The domU domains can't access the hardware, that's ok. But what about the dom0?

Thanks,
M

Hi,
I'm using 2.6.12.6.5-xen and dri is running. I'm using i810 maybe your system is not properly configured, my one is making problems too, xend doesn't start. Maybe that's the reason why dri is running

But I think xen and dri shouldn't block each other.

Thank you for answering :-)

I don't hava a xen system on my computer yet. But I'm glad to hear that my video card should continue to work with 3D acceleration within a xen system.
