Now what?
incorrect: GL passthrough in QEMU allows to run the MeeGo netbook user experience, which is based on Mutter and Clutter, exactly like gnome-shell: http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_SDK_with_QEMU#Setup_QEMU-based_MeeGo_Emulator creating an SDK image for gnome-shell using that as a base would not be impossible. also, VirtualBox supports GL passthrough, AFAIR. in any case, virtualization is only interesting for an SDK, and for ease of testing the new environment; as a requirement for running gnome-shell it should hardly be a blocker. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
