Unfortunately every time I purchase a new game it's not supported by
Cedega. Half of the games are supported after a year.

If necessary I would dedicate a graphics card exclusive for the Win-domU.
But the IOMMU work is still necessary.
I had thought a Win-XP virtual graphics-driver could forward the domU
direct-x3d calls to a dom0 wine-proxy. This proxy would use the
accelerated hardware. Ignorance about problems in this field leads to
interesting thoughts ;-).

Xen is a great solution of many other (server not desktop) problems for
me, so I'm reluctant to complain :-).
