Hi All, I''m running Windows Vista business on xen, on my Xen host, here''s my uname... # uname -a Linux xenstr 2.6.16.38-xs3.2.0.531.3960xen #1 SMP Sat Mar 24 17:19:06 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux also, my hardware is a Dell Precision 490, which is on the xen HCL. I''m trying to install Civilization IV on my Windows Vista guest OS and I keep getting this error... Initialize renderer failed. Check Direct X Installation, Latest Graphics Drivers and Graphics Settings. Parameters: -width = 1024 -height = 768 -flags = 0xc -hwnd = Ox400e8 -adaptrid = 0 -deviceid = 3 Error: Creation failed: Invalid 3D device type. I tried a series of Civilization centric solutions that didn''t work. So now I''m wondering if xen supports windows graphics hardware acceleration as a guest OS on xen?
