hardware virtualization is mainly dependent on the processor - if the processor supports vt (or whatever), it'll work if not it won't. > > 2.

Is 3D working? > 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. 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). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
