Hello list,
I followed the previous thread on X11 with attention as I'm trying the same
thing: I'd like my host to remain as small as possible while providing users
with an X11 interface.
I started with adding CAP_SYS_RAWIO in the bcapabilities file and copying
/dev/tty0, /dev/tty7 and /dev/tty10 to the vserver. Then, startx would fail
with lack of /dev/mem, so I added it too. Then the mouse was missing, so I
put /dev/psaux. I'm not sure this is the right way to go but the setup
works.
The nVidia video card (GeForce 6200) failed to load so I changed the server
to VESA and it worked fine.
My question is triple:
1. is there a better way to run an X11 in a vserver?
2. how comes the nvidia module, loaded in the host, doesn't show up in the
vserver?
3. what is the clean way to login to this host from the console?
For (1.) I guess the /dev/mem can be a problem.
For (2.) I have no idea.
For (3.) I had to vserver exec su - user to enter the vserver from the
console but it gives anyone an easy access, which is not what is seeked.
Thank you for you help,
hellekin =8)
