[Xen-users] Xen and MacBook Pro 17" 2.8 (current)

["Niels Dettenbach" <nd@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Xenianers,

this thread seems not new but things are changed over a while.

I'm plan to use a current (x86) Mac Book 17" 2.8 GHz mainly with Linux (mainly 
Gentoo) and to run other VMs for developement (mainly Linux, *BSD) under Xen if 
possible as i'm very happy with Xen on our servers and even some desks.

1.)
What about nvidia drivers in the current (with xen linux or xen netbsd)? Is it 
possible to run dom0 or domU with the accelerated linux drivers? Is there any 
difference between xen (classic) and xen pv be aware?

2.)
Is it technically possible to run a current Mac OS X under Xen? I assume not 
for now but i've heard somewhere that there are users which sucessfully run Mac 
OS X under a Xen HV - but that requires "modifications" which are not "legally" 
(i.e. a "cracked" OS X or "modified" kernel [darwin?]). Im really confused 
here...

Is here anyone who can clearify this a little to us or has experiences with 
this?

Afair it seems possible to run a (patched and unpatched) MAC OSX on (a 
patched?) VirtualBox (even without real MAC hardware, but that's not my 
idea...), but (however) i prefer xen where possible and afaik virtualbox is not 
(at least not fully because of VT etc.) running under a xen hv which i prefer 
to use for other things to do.

Paravirtualizing MAC OSX seems' not a (current) question worth...

Will try this as soon as i have the hardware here.

Many thanks for your time,
best regards and a nice weekend to you all,

Niels.
