XEN and 3rd party drivers (nvidia)
Hi, My observation / question is twofold. In playing with XEN, I've found that I can't start an X session, because of my NVidia driver that works with my regular kernel. The NVidia kernel module doesn't load when I use the XEN kernel. Is there an easy way to have graphical XEN and a 3D regular boot? I could use two xorg.conf files I suppose, but I'd like to not worry about it. Next question, is there a kernel-xen-source RPM? I didn't see it in factory, and don't believe the kernel-source RPM goes with the -xen kernel, like it does for the -default, -smp, -bigsmp kernels. I could be wrong. I know this setup would not be commonly used. Thanks for humoring me. Chad
Does anyone have an answer for this? I want to run XEN and XGL
simultaneously... Currently can't compile the NVidia driver with the XEN
kernel. I see there's a new NVidia driver, but NVidia's site is having
issues, so I can't get it yet. If I don't get an answer maybe I'll bug
Stephan directly.

I mean that it's a bug of the Nvidia module driver. You has probe to
recompile the Nvidia module with the Xen-kernel source installed? (the
nvidia installation script makes it automatic, when the driver do'nt
match the installed kernel).
