I'm trying to get X to work in a guest. On this page http://oldwiki.linux-vserver.org/MoreUbuntu
it is written:
"For accelerated Xorg, specific device nodes might need to be assigned for each seat,
e.g. for NVidia driver /dev/nvidia*.
Use the lspci command to find out PCI BusId?<http://oldwiki.linux-vserver.org/BusId?action=edit>
to be assigned for each Xorg-Desktop (seat).
Use lspci -X to get a suitable format for use in xorg.conf. "

I've come to the conclusion that my graphics card has BusID: PCI:0:2:0 - when I run
'lspci -vvv' I get the list of all PCI-devices, and I find:

"00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel corporation 82865G Integrated Graphivs Contr...
"

Should I then copy the device nodes from host to guest or should I just reference it
in the guest's xorg.conf file (e.g. Driver "intel", BusID "PCI:0:2:0") ?
