Dunno : Is possible load GLX on Display :1 from chroot 32 Bits when the GLX is active on 64 Bits Host???


Well in resume i just want use : Chroot + Xephyr and GLX (32 Bits) on « Display : 1 » inside the Xephyr window.

That affect my GLX (64 Bits) on host ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 - I had Slackware 14.2 (64 Bits) on /dev/sdb5

2 - I had Slackware 14.2 (32 Bits) on /dev/sdb6

3 - i use chroot + Xephyr to access grafical session of Slackware32 14.2
i had explain that on this post

Ok in that experiment meanwhile i stay inside the chroot i use my own scrpit to install nvidia drivers, and well the access to GLX on Display :1 works. but when i restart. i notice i had damage the « nvidia.ko » and nvidia drivers on host system.

well in few days i solve, i explain that on this another post

I do not think it's possible to have hardware acceleration on chroot with your setup.

Because from what I know, the Xephyr X11 server itself has NO hardware acceleration, even no hardware input/output and it just use a memory buffer to render its desktop content, later being put in the host window.

I suggest you to use at least a Xen virtual machine and VirGL if you want 3D acceleration.

that make me autoquestion why then Xephyr include "GLX" module ?

i never has used "Xen" because i don't have idea what is really, some years ago, (near 2003/2004) i saw on my OpenSuSE in grub appear an entry called "Xen" but i never use it.

well just a few moments ago i found a post tell you can use VirGL from chroot for the acceleration. you had some link with information about how install and configure xen under slackware(64) 14.2 ?

Use qemu or virtualbox for virtualisation. You probably want to use kvm rather than xen since kvm is built into the kernel. It's very easy to find information about what it is and does if you're interested, just search using your favourite search engine.

qemu's documentation is atrocious and a lot of the guides for it are out of date but it's very capable. I have a slackbuild.org for it but i can't work out where i got it from since the ones on slackbuilds.org are out wildly of date. virtualbox is more newbie friendly, but i haven't used it for a while so i don't know it's virgl capabilities.
