[Qemu-devel] Qemu PPC Question

[Mark Hart]

Hello all,

Would (or will) it be possible to install a PPC version of Linux running 
X?  I looked at the screenshots with PPC Linux running in shell mode but 
I didn't know if X was possible or in the works?




Thanks and keep up the great work!
Mark

Why not just run a native X server (or Xnest) on the host and just
direct the display over the network to it.  It would be much much faster
than using the emulated svga framebuffer X server within the emulator
itself.  Even under VMWare I don't ever run X11 inside VMWare; it's just
too slow.  Instead I use Xnest and send the display from the vmware
machine to it.
