Good news. I made a lvm for hardy, and debootstrapped it. Installed hardy''s xen-hypervisor-3.3 and linux-xen package, which pulls in a package which they have versioned as 2.6.24.24.26. Rebooted with the hardy lvm as the root fs, installed the latest nvidia driver (190.16), and successfully started Xorg on my geforce 7900gt with that driver. Not sure yet whether it is the particular kernel version or whether it is something to do with the earlier version of Xorg in hardy. Could be anything really. -- Michael _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
What''s your hardware config in general ? Could share this information ?

>Asus P5W Dh Deluxe motherboard with Intel 82975XThe board is nice, but prior to ASUS P5B ( I965+ICH(X)R )family. I never tested GeForce 8500 GT with this board. Actually, North Bridges I965 (ASUS P5B),P35 (ASUS P5K),P45 (ASUS P5Q) have been tested with GeForce 8500 GT.
