Hi, all.

I am trying to figure out how split device drivers work in Xen. However,
when I start a guest domain, I only see the following fields showing up in
Xenstore:

/local/domain/1/device/console/ .....
/local/domain/1/device/vbd/769/ .....

I didn't see other /local/domain/1/device fields. Does it mean not all device
drivers in Xen follow the split device driver model? (in other words, not all
device drivers in Xen have a frontend and a backend) If that's true, does video
card device driver follow the split device driver model?

Thanks in advance.


Best regards,
Teddy
