Re: [Xen-users] Xen future on workstation - dual head

I've searched the list and see others looking for OpenGL.
 I have an Intel Q6600 with VT (nice price drop)...  I'm unsure if it 
has IOMMU.  I also have an ATI X1650.
 I'm not specifically looking for OpenGL support, but that would be 
nice.  More importantly, I'd like dual head, which the ATI proprietary 
drivers give.  I believe one card with two outputs can not do dual 
head with the vesa driver.
 I've seen info on the hacked fglrx driver...  but it would be quite a 
step back in Xen versions and linux kernel versions.
 Others on this list, must do dual head on dom0, how?  Two cards and 
let X stitch them together?
In the future, what can I hope for....  concerning dom0 and HVMs.
 
 
(I'll talk to myself)
 It seems the NVidia drivers have an easier time of it, or at least the 
patch isn't as old as the fglrx patch.

 Note the note... an update broke things so you have to stay back at 
NVidia's 1.0-9631 version.  I can only imagine changes in the way NVidia 
does things have made it quite difficult to bring this patch forward to 
a more current version.
 My thoughts...  Both the NVidia patch and the ATI patch are quite 
small!  Seems someone could maintain them in those companies.  (they 
would win my business)
Thanks in advance for any additional direction,
