I'm trying start a gnome-os which is in a qcow2 image (built by
gnome-continuous). However, running it in qemu is very slow due to my
laptop's limited hardware. So, Instead of running it using Qemu, I did
some experiment with systemd-nspawn + nbd-server and successfully booted
gnome-os without using Qemu, but without X11.

Starting gnome-session inside gnome-os with X server running in the host
machine is possible only if I run another X server in a seperate vt
(vt2). I cannot use Xephyr because gnome-session requires 3d
acceleration.

I came to know that Xdmx is a proxy X server which can use a real X
server running in vt7. I think it is same like Xephyr with 3d
acceleration enabled. Thats why I tried to search for this tool, but
xorg-server package is missing this tool.

I'm not sure whether Xdmx will suit my requirement, I never tried. But I
found that it is missing in Sabayon. Thats why I filed a Bug.

Thanks,
Mohan R
