RE: [Xen-devel] NVidia driver status

["Rolf Neugebauer" <rn@xxxxxxx>]

I’ve tried this or a similar patch with the latest nvidia binary drivers and it works just fine fine.

 

IIRC the patch doesn’t patch any of the scripts in the nvidia package but just compiling the kernel module against the xenlinux kernel worked fine. i installed the rest of the tools including the munging of xorg.conf under native linux so no use the same setup for linux and xen.

 

this is for an older version of the nvidia card (7300 LE, IIRC) and the latest driver.

Xen-patch for the latest nvidia driver is in this thread->

I haven't tried it myself, yet, so I can't vouch for how well it works.

hi,

being dissapointed a bit by ATI's support for Xen, I just purchased a
top-of-the-line Dell box with an expensive NVidia graphics card, as
rumour said they would work better than the ATI ones. Unfortunately, the
NVidia installer detects that I am running Xen, and then refused to
compile the kernel module, saying that Xen is not supported. Does anyone
know of a way around this check, or have fresh experiences getting Xen
and NVidia to play together?

Thanks,
Jacob
