Re: System i LPARs

Why of course, what was I thinking? Emulate your basic S3 video chip and every OS on the planet can talk to that. And even I have VNC loaded!

Where does the video go? Why, it goes to the VVV (that's the Virtual Video driVer), of course-- that's the one that looks like video to the OS, but actually sends it out over VNC or something similar to the IP destination of your choice!

It's one of those things I'd do just to show it could be done. However
the QEMU folks don't yet support PowerPC64 processors as the host. Of
course the other seemingly obvious problem is the video. Where does that
go, given the host Linux partition doesn't even have a video card.
Definitely something that makes one go Hmmmm though.
