I''ve been trying to set up a VGA-passthrough on my Ubuntu 12.04 box to run Windows (for gaming) while leaving my RAID-5 array available (managed by Linux). First, here are the machine specs: CPU: AMD A8-3870K 3.4GHz Quad-Core APU GPU: APU-integrated AMD Radeon 6550 (shared memory) Mobo: ASUS F1A75-V EVO with AMD-virtualization enabled in UEFI-BIOS RAM: 8GB DDR3 1866 G-Skill Sniper

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

Hi all I''m trying to enable VGA passthrough in linux domU without success. I want to pass through AMD Radeon HD 4850 - 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV770 [Radeon HD 4850] as a _primary_ VGA for the VM. Nothing is showing up on the monitor that I have connected to graphics card''s HDMI port. I have IOMMU enabled. I searched mailing lists

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:

Dear list, currently I have a Debian Wheezy with Kernel 3.6.6 and Xen 4.2 as Dom0 and an Ubuntu 12.04 as a HVM DomU with vga passthrough for my Nvidia GT 520 card working. Hardware is a Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 with IOMMU and an Athlon II. I used the howto by David Techer to get my card running. Currently I can only use the driver version 275.xx of the nvidia closedsource driver. All newer

Hello, I hope that I am posting the correct list with this question. I have been trying to get VGA passthrough working on my system for some time now without success. I do not have the system with me right now, so I will not be able to provide any logs or error messages right now. I will be able to to do so in a couple of hours. I have a VT-d enabled system (Motherboard and CPU) on which I wish

This bug, at its core, is that currently there is no supported solution for VGA passthrough on Xen for stable version Jessie from Debian. After browsing Xen's repositories, I found out that Xen did not claim to support VGA passthrough with the upstream qemu-xen device model until Sep 25, 2015, the date the xl.cfg man page was updated to indicate support for VGA passthrough with upstream

I''ve just had my first attempt at getting VGA passthrough to work, and it crashed the machine. I''m trying to understand whether this is a problem with my hardware, configuration or a software problem. I''m running Xen 4.1.2 with Linux 3.1.2 The CPU is an Intel Core i5-650 http://ark.intel.com/products/43546/Intel-Core-i5-650-Processor-%284M-Cache-3_20-GHz%29 The Video

Dear All, I have tried to apply VGA passthrough patches hosted at Jean David Techer''s website to Xen 4.3-unstable. However, I cannot get VGA passthrough to work with Xen 4.3-unstable. Are the VGA passthrough patches hosted at David Techer''s website incompatible with Xen 4.3-unstable? This is David Techer''s website:

Hi Is VGA passthrough with an nvidia optimus laptop remotely feasible? For those who don''t know, nvidia optimus is two hardware cards, connected to the same display. One sandy bridge setup (I use the intel driver for this), and one nvidia card. I have a laptop with this setup, and usually I''m using only the intel card. I then use acpi_call to power down the nvidia card. To use

Hi Gordan, I wanted to let you know that today I decided to have a try for my GTX 680. Gigabite GTX 680 2048 MB GDDR5. I know that this particular card could be hard-moded to GRID K2 so VGA passthrough could work. Following instructions found on http://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/hacking-nvidia-cards-into-their-professional-counterparts/420/ I just removed two resistors. Here is a screenshot
