RE: [Xen-devel] X86_64 Xorg Xfree86 issues

[Jerone Young <jyoung5@xxxxxxxxxx>]

At the moment Xorg does not work under Xen on X86-64. Havn't had a
chance to look into it...but even if you try the "vesa" driver you
cannot get X working. Basically the driver is not able to get to the
video card bios...may need a hypercall to do this.
