 OK, as soon as the apm thing from NetBSD is not here too.
 It seems to hang my laptop :(

 I just tried boot xenlive iso and the linux domain0 don't see it.
 One trouble is that it is atheros and Linux does not know them straight :(

 Extending this hardware question, I planned to use Xen to use Linux|FreeBSD
 IEEE DV cam support. I'm wondering if this will work... As it seems Xen is not
 100% like the domainX system (in terms of hardware support).
 
 Does it make sense to run Linux|FreeBSD in domainX if NetBSD/Xen (in domain0) 
don't
 support whatever hardware (DV cam recorder, USB umass for digital camerai or 
even ATI
 Linux drivers) ?
