I've read here: > https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1273412#p1273412 > that this scenario caused problems. Is this still the case? That's actually the first I've heard of that problem. I don't see why it wouldn't still be the case, fglrx is broken if that report is accurate. > Which GPU do you use on the host / guest, and which driver combinations work?

If you plan to run fglrx in the host, it would certainly help to work around the above issue, but I don't have much direct experience with anything newer than an 8400GS. > Of course I'd be happy to hear reports from others as well. :) Yep, I'm astonished at the number of users trying to make this work.
