Re: [Xen-users] Intel VT, Linux & Windows XP

Hi,

not if they both are running as unmodified guests and you are using both 
with SDL because you only can use one client with a local SDL-screen.
But this is not a good option anyway, because Linux runs better as 
paravirtualised guest and you can access this Linux with ssh, exported 
X11 or VNC (if installed in Gnome).
And Windows as unmodified guest is not very good usable with a local 
SDL-screen because it is completely unaccelerated, VNC is not an option 
too because keyboard and mouse are working quite bad. The best thing to 
use Windows is using the RDP-protocol, then the performance is quite 
good and Windows is usable, mostly like it works f.ex. with Citrix!

The graphics-adapter are only virtual and exported via VNC or SDL.
