this xf86-video-ati should have it work. see airlied blog |
| 2 |
http://airlied.livejournal.com/ and google around xorg a little to have this |
| 3 |
confirmed (thi should be on of the latest release 6.7.196-r1). |
| 4 |
radeon-hd instead doesn't have 2d or 3d support, so you could only use it |
| 5 |
for the eventual base system without xorg fancies for xen. i don't think |
| 6 |
that for now it's an option for everyday use. |
| 7 |
well, as for the domains, i'd say: let the base domain hanlde hw and bridge |
| 8 |
it to the other domains. after that every single domain would be indipendent |
| 9 |
from the other and so if one display goes mad you won't have problems with |
| 10 |
the other one. |
