Is there anyway to run a Windows machine as a virtual machine and have<br>
direct-X display on the host console in full screen mode? If anyone has this<br>
working can you tell me what hardware, drivers, etc you are using? Thank you.<br>

I think) that is supposed to be quicker for Windows (I can't seem to find the materials I read months ago). In testing I found that this driver wouldn't support higher resolutions, so I abandoned it. I don't run Windows VMs in production, so I've not experimented much with it in KVM.<br>

<div style>Maybe someone will speak up who has worked with Windows on KVM quite a bit more than I have.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">
