[Xen-users] Re: pci graphics in paravirtual domU

[Andres Lagar Cavilla <andreslc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

xen-gl is under active development at this point. Of course beta testing 
will help greatly :)
I am a bit forgetful wrt to syncing my page with reality. Expect a few 
updates soon.
Nevertheless, the code is usable afaik. It's working fairly decently for 
me and some other people that have emailed me.
