I thought I could use a virtual machine, like, say, kvm, but there's a problem, it seems. If I understand correctly, with kvm, the guest system runs on a virtual machine with virtual hardware that is not identical to the actual hardware the host system runs on. The most important tests I have to perform involve the xserver-xorg-video-intel package: I need to run Intel video drivers on an Intel integrated graphics chip, with DRI 3D acceleration activated. If kvm makes the guest system see an emulated video card, the guest system won't run Intel video drivers, and I won't be able to reproduce the bugs... Did I misunderstand something? May I run Intel video drivers on my actual hardware from inside a kvm virtual machine? -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
