All,
I am working with Xen 3.0 (I think, though can someone please tell me how I
could verify this!)
I want to install a couple of PVM which I could access with a X-terminal. (I
don't know if I am using the correct terminology here, so I will elaborate:
I want to start my PVM, ssh to them using the -X option [ssh -X user@pvm_ip]
from another machine, and be able to run a command like "glxgears", so that
a pop up window showing the gears-animation shows up and the console prints
the FPS information).
At this point, I already have a PVM installed running a guest OS with kernel
2.6.24-16-xen. However when I try to install "nvidia-glx" for the glxgears
API I get the following error:
----------------
root@xen13:~# sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx

I Googled this error and found a number of
suggestions<http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318206>.
But all the suggested work-arounds lead me to this same error. What am I
missing here?
Do I indeed need to install nvidia-glx on my PVM ?
Any advice would be helpful!
