Is it possible to dedicate a hardware VGA that is physically in a Linux system but is unused by X to be directly available to a Windows 7 guest running in that system? I.e.- the monitor attached to that VGA would be blank until the guest was running and then show up when the guest is started?

If there are any links around about that sort of setup, assuming it's even possible, please point me in that direction.

Thanks

OK, so looking around more I ran across this link

which suggests it's possible, at least with simple cards and specific hardware setup issues like interrupts not shared. This is good. At least I've got a starting point.
