For example, let's say I had a second video card. Is QEMU/kvm a codebase which would support hacking in the ability to utilize this second video card (one not utilized by the host Linux)? And in the situation of a laptop, would it be possible to boot the host Linux in a way that it would not utilize the video card, but get a qemu guest to use it? Theoretically, there's no reason this isn't possible, right? Thanks, - Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
