Thread-topic: Video output/graphics in virtualized OSs

How do the virtualized operating systems in XEN output video? I presume at this point, it isn’t completely transparent – where they are writing to what they consider to be video memory and the display of that virtual buffer is somehow managed by Dom0. If that’s the case, then how at this point is it handled? Specialized X Servers?

 

Is there a link to where I can find out more about how this works?

 

Thanks,

 

Curtis
