hardware virtualization is mainly dependent on the processor - if the
processor supports vt (or whatever), it'll work if not it won't.
Yes, but as the saying goes, "some vendors disable hardware
virtualization in the BIOS." So we're back to square one... ;D

for most advanced video card features on ati cards (ie, 3d) you'll
need to use their driver. their driver is 'free' but not 'open
source'. note, other than vmware fusion (mac), i don't think anyone
else does graphics acceleration within the virtual.
I didn't express myself clearly enough. I won't be doing 3D in the
virtual. I will be running 3D in plain (bare-metal) Squeeze, for some
OpenGL games and stuff.
But I will also run a virtual Windows XP machine in my plain Squeeze
from time to time (probably qemu/kvm since it's built into the kernel
and I know it best).
So the question is, how does ATI 3000 3D wotk in Squeeze pure and
simple.
so, check the processor to make sure you've got one that supports hw
virtualization and that's about it. everything should 'just work' out
of the box except 3d which you'll probably need to install the ati
driver for (probably even get that out of the non-free repo now days).
Thanx for your input!
