After applying the agp patch (apparently no drm patch in the unstable 
tree?), I have both kernel framebuffer and X with opengl running on my 
Intel-845G testbox. I am getting an ATI Radeon card one of these days, 
and will see if that works also.

I would like to link the domU framebuffer to an OpenGL surface in dom0. 
Is anyone working on something similar?

I suppose I need to set up an event channel for update notifications, 
and find a way of negotiating some shared memory between the domains.
