OK, as soon as the apm thing from NetBSD is not here too.
It seems to hang my laptop :(

I just tried boot xenlive iso and the linux domain0 don't see it.
One trouble is that it is atheros and Linux does not know them straight :(
Extending this hardware question, I planned to use Xen to use Linux|FreeBSD
IEEE DV cam support. I'm wondering if this will work... As it seems Xen is=
not
100% like the domainX system (in terms of hardware support).

Does it make sense to run Linux|FreeBSD in domainX if NetBSD/Xen (in domai=
n0) don't
support whatever hardware (DV cam recorder, USB umass for digital camerai =
or even ATI
Linux drivers) ?
