Xen devel - Sep 2013 - Is it possible to assign two controllers of dq45cb to two guest VMs respectively?

hi, 

dq45cb has two display controllers as below and two display interface DVI-I 和
DVI-D.

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Question 1:
Is it possible to assign two controller to two guest VMs respectively? 
Question 2:
must  VGA compatible controller be used when reboot/startup ? there is no option
in BIOS bios select 00:02.1 to startup.


thanks.
huiming.

It is certainly possible to do so in Xen.  However, there is no
guarantee that the cards or the drivers will work correctly if you do
so -- that depends entirely on the hardware.  You'll just have to try
it yourself and see if it works. :-)

Presumably because the BIOS only has a VGA driver, and so can't
control the other one.
