I don't personally have an Intel based graphics chipset, but I have seen colleagues running Xen with compiz running in Dom0 with Intel graphics adapters. Obviously you need to ensure that the Intel graphics adapter is supported by the in kernel Intel drivers :-)

You're sure that is not a machine SSHing into another one with Xen ;)

Is it safe to assume that whatever Intel graphic adapter that can be used by the non-Xen kernel can also be recognised by the Xen kernel?

Haha - I hadn't considered that. But I was told by colleagues who are reliable that it was done all on the local machine. I have had the later versions of the radeon driver in the kernel run the wobbly windows stuff and Xen at the same time. However, the radeon driver performance wasn't really usable. You could tell that the windows wobbled and the cube rotated, but it wouldn't impress anyone :-) (This was using Xgl and not aiglx, as all attempts with aiglx failed in Xen for me) I would imagine an Intel adapter that works in a non-Xen kernel for 3d should work in a Xen kernel, but I'm not offering any guarantees either :-) Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
