But would it be possible to tell Xen to "give" the entire card to
Windows and then get it back to dom0 and then back to Linux X11 domU and
then to Windows domU, etc... ?
What you explain is that the only way of "sharing" the card between 2
domU OSes is through a QEmu windows so no *Real* full screen neither
full Windows acceleration. That means the desktop Linux/Windows in Xen
will be hard to do.
