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
