Xen users - May 2008 - opensuse10.3 host and windows XP guest via Xen/Vbx

Hello

did anyone may made some experience with the called configuration (see Betreff).
I need to virtualize a Windows XP environment on
an opensuse 10.3 host. Because of several reach graphic application, like CAD or
Simulation, which only running on XP and lower Windows versions it would bring
good solution if I can virtualize the programs.

Unfortunately VBox 1.6 doesn''t support OpenGL driver.

May Xen would bring a better value.

Thanks in advanced for your answer.

Best regards

Joerg

Hi Jörg,
> Unfortunately VBox 1.6 doesn''t support OpenGL driver.
are there any VM-solutions that do so?

As far as I know virtualization is good for everything expect programs
that need direct/exclusive/performant access to the hardware!

So things like 3D-Games, video- or audio-processing are not quite good
usable in such a solution.

I use Xen only for server-virtualization where I don''t need graphics or
where I''m happy with VNC.

There are modules for direct PCI-access, but may be it''s not good for
grafics-adapters and Linux accesses the HVM-domains via VNC or SDL.
