GEM = Graphics Execution Memory

KMS = Kernel Mode-Setting

 This couple is the new video drivers for Linux from Intel, the X doesn't need to be SUID root anymore and, the framebuffer for Linux since 2.6.29 it's now fully accelerated, even if on top of Xen!

 So, that's what I want, a pvops dom0 with full video acceleration!

Cheers!

What is  GEM/KMS  ?
Actually, 2.6.30 is good only for fun, 2.6.29.6 for work.

Why is 2.6.30 no good for real work?

What type of problems are there?

We need a 2.6.30 kernel for support for our i7 chip's hyperthreading. We're trying to get some benchmarks on top of Xen and the older kernels are abysmal for our app as it cuts down on the number of cores that the app sees by a factor of 2 due to the lack of nehalem hyperthreading support in pre-2.6.30.

PVOPS kernel  requires LAN for VNC connections. :(
