I'm trying to play around with xen on Fedora 8 a bit.
I have a dual monitor configuration with livna's

anyone know a work around for this, or some other
method for setting up dual monitors on Fedora 8?
Thanks in advance!

nVidia doesn't officially support Xen.
Unofficially their binary driver -may- work (with a bit of hacking [1]),
but you're more-or-less on your own.

Based on my experience, I would guess that Nvidia doesn't support the hack because it's prone to eating babies (even more than normal) if you're using a 64-bit kernel, multiple logical processors, or more than 3 GB of RAM.

If you want to use the Nvidia driver with virtualization on modern hardware, you'll probably have better luck with KVM than Xen.
