Hi, I''m trying to get VGA passthrough to work to an XP x64 guest, and I''m seeing "interesting" things happening. I''m using the kernel and userspace tools from here: http://xen.crc.id.au/support/guides/install/# on Scientific Linux 6. I gave up on trying to get an Nvidia card to work in the guest having read about the extra patches required to get a

Hello List, Has anyone performed VGA Passthrough with a Radeon 6990 card? Secondary to that, has anyone done a crossfire setup on an HVM DomU? I''d like to run Xen on top of my desktop and put Windows into a VM, shuffling my setup around a little bit, but I''d really like to get the full VGA BIOS support that passthrough offers. Thanks, Andrew Bobulsky

I just wanted to drop a note to say that I have managed to get VGA passthrough working with multiple cards and domUs. The cards I am using are quasi Quadro 5000 (modified GTX470) and quasi Quadro 6000 (modified GTX480). (Here is an older article about modified GTS450 modified to Quadro 2000 if anyone is interested:

Hi everyone since I''m currently migrating from xm to xl and now are also a victim of the said error, I started researching on it and found that many people had the issue but not many found solution and behind this BSOD (=Bluescreen of Death), there are actually multiple errors in hiding. What I would like to do is gather as much info as possible in this thread to form a kind of

Gordan & David, Read about your latest work, and was thrilled to learn that both soft and hard mods are working. I bought the GTX 670 model in David''s article, I will be giving this a shot in a week. I was hoping to ask a few questions. 1. Is there a specific qemu version required (traditional or the new default)? 2. What (if anything) should be done after removing the resistors

Dear David Techer, I have read through your article on Xen VGA passthrough on http://www.davidgis.fr. It appears that the following command on your blog doesn''t work. dmesg | grep 01:00.0 | grep BAR The above command shows nothing at all. Is there an alternative solution? Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

Hi all, I''m planning a rig that has SuSE linux in Dom0 and Windows7 in a DomU with the PCIe video card passed through to the Win7-U and an AMD system''s onboard video for the Linux system. Couple xen-newbie questions: does my plan work in such that I intend to have the onboard video''s DVI and the video card (at present an NV GTX-460) on the same monitor and switch

I''m using Xen 4.3, installed from source on Ubuntu 13.04. I''ve successfully installed a Windows 8 guest, and had Xen pass it an AMD FirePro W7000 GPU (technically 2 PCI devices - the second is for the sound), as well as the virtualised graphics adapter. Windows finds the card fine, and I''ve installed AMD''s drivers. Device Manager says that the card cannot

Hello Xen Users, I have attached the latest copy of my own documentation in PDF format as well as some error files related to the latest tests I ran. I have documented the steps I took to reach my current situation. While I have a "working" install, it is not optimal and there are several problems and questions I would like to address: - If Dom0 is a privileged DomU, should we be

Hello, I am about to try the AMD patch to test primary passthrough and had a couple of questions. First, is there a host for the patch or is it only what was released to the mailing list in the past? Second, does the primary patch allow Xen''s VNC to connect to the GPU instead of emulated graphics? If not, does anyone know whether it would be possible to connect Xen''s VNC to

Hi all! I am having troubles with booting Xen with grub2 in UEFI mode. Does Xen support this configuration? Are there any specific settings? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Aloha! Concisely, I''ve been trying for several days to get VGA/PCI passthrough working. Regarding VGA vs PCI passthrough, I''m not entirely certain of the difference? Does Xen perform a different set of operations when passing through a VGA card versus any PCIe card? I''ve read the wiki and it seems the answer is "yes;" however, when passing through a

Hello, Like many trying and posting here, I''m new to VGA passthrough. Computer was bought, checking compatibility from http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/VTd_HowTo The hardware is mostly not exactly on the list, but mainly new versions of the same series (I think). IOMMU "seems" to be working (not 100% sure what to check). I used debian/wheezy kernel and xen, dom0 and HVM domu.

Hi all- I''ve been working with XenServer for years but have decided to build a home server running the latest version of Xen to do GPU pass through to a Win 7 x64 Media Center. What is the best dom0 OS to install to enable this? I''ve seen lots of people using Debian Squeeze, but I wonder why that is being chosen rather than say Ubuntu 12.04 which has a much newer stock kernel?

Hi All- Is it possible yet to pass through a ATI or Nvidia GPU as the primary VGA card to a Win 7/8 VM, and have it fully functional there (DXVA etc), without crashing the guest or the host during operation or when resetting the guest? For hardware I have an E3 v2 Xeon, Tyan S5512 board, and an ATI 7750. Thanks! David _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hello, I recently swapped some components, and rebuilt my system. Changes to the configuration: - Wheezy Beta 1 > Wheezy Beta 2 - Kernel 3.4.9 > Kernel 3.4.11 I have tested the new Xen 4.2 stable, and Xen unstable revision 25777, both are giving me the same error so I do not believe it is related to a change in Xen. The first attempt to pass a PCI device after booting the system

Dear Xen Users, I have _partial_ (that is, less than 100%) success following Jean David Techer''s Xen 4.2-unstable VGA Passthrough Documentation. In both Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM and Windows XP Home Edition HVM, I get yellow exclamation mark besides NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS in Device Manager. NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS in Device Manager reports: 1) Windows has stopped this device
