[lxc-users] Recipe for running opengl apps inside LXC with proprietary nvidia driver?

[Dan Kegel]

Or does one normally run a separate X in a separate virtual terminal
for LXC, just as one does for multiple users?  So ctl-alt-F7 is
for the normal desktop, and ctl-alt-F8 could be for the X inside LXC.
