Re: [Xen-devel] [Xen-users] VGA passthough still not working

[Sandi Romih <romihs.forums@xxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

Yeah, I guess xen has generally been focused on the server end.

But I see some good uses for desktop virtualization too. I personally want this so that I can have a file server (zfs based) and a Windows desktop (as all the tools I use in my job are mostly only supported in MS OS) in one machine. Saves me money and space.

Regards

Sandi

I'm really surprised this doesnt get more attention. For as long as I've been on this list, this feature has been mentioned so many times I would think that getting this working would be a huge feature that would make the product even better. I have only seen the occasional success with experimental patches etc, despite this being talked about for years.
