Hi, When I boot into the dom0 kernel. The system is not able to find the NVIDIA video driver.Normally , when I update the non-pvops kernel I switch the virtual console and install the video driver and reboot , then the video driver module gets installed. But I am not able to do similar thing in the case of pvops kernel. How can I keep this video driver installed across the kernel updates. Note that this driver is a proprietary driver from NVIDIA. (NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-195.36. 31-pkg2.run) Please help me. Regards, Onkar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
i don''t think the nvidia driver can work on XEN kernels. i''d use the nv or nouveau driver instead. i mean, why would a dom0 need an nvidia driver?

Did you run the package? Did it install/compile the modules? Did it change your Xorg file? Did you crank up the verbosity of the kernel and Xen to see what is happening. Please do look at the PVOPS Wiki (just google for it) for how to set those verbosity functions. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

You can use the nouveau driver (but it does not have yet 3D support), which works with the Xen PVOPS kernel. Better yet, Kernel Mode Setting works as well! For details: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPVOPSDRM and if you want to try out the 2.6.34 nouveau driver on a Xen PVOPS kernel, get it from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git branch devel/next.drm _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
