   The idea was to have to graphics cards, each dedicated to it's own   
   instance of X (sharing a graphics card makes it so slow) and for one   
   instance it had been enough with my old ATi Remote.   
      
   At the moment I'm back with Xen dom0 on Linux, got the 2.6.21 kernel to   
   boot now, i had to make a BIOS change and make the SATA to work with   
   AHCI. At the moment the nic isn't working, I may have to back port sky2   
   driver from 2.6.22, another trouble I have is the keyboard, don't seem   
   to work, I'll test with a PS/2 one too before taking more look at the   
   options I have selected. At least something going in the right direction.
