[Xen-users] Running MS Windows as domU without Intel VT?
Hi again. I noticed that wine won''t run under Xen. I use Internet Explorer under Wine to test sites I build. (My alternative is to run IE via VNC which is sort of sluggish.) I''ve tried to google this but get drowend in posts about Xen, XP and Intel VT. Is it at all possible to run XP under Xen without a VT CPU (maybe using some "improved" version of XP?) alex BTW, thanks to those who responded about resource monitoring. For now I''ve turned of swapping in one of my domUs that was thrashing the entire system. This gives my some strange messages in the syslog when I run out of memory but the domU seems to hold up anyway. I''ll put in another DIMM and hopefully that will be the end of it. -- Alex Polite _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

[I have not much knowledge of how wine works, so there may be something obvious that I''ve missed...] It sounds like something that someone with the right knowledge could fix quite easily...> > Is it at all possible to run XP under Xen without a VT CPU (maybe > using some "improved" version of XP?)Maybe VMWare''s approach will work for you? That, as far as I know, works without any "new technology" in the CPU. -- Mats> > alex > > > > BTW, thanks to those who responded about resource monitoring.

Hello all, I cannot use my (USB) mouse on DOM-U (win xp). The mouse pointer appears on the screen, but is useless, both within and outside Grab. Any pointers / ideas??

I just took for granted it had something to do with xen. Guess I''ll have to go back to the lab bench and do some more testing. -- Alex Polite _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
