similar to: ATI VGA Passthrough / Xen 4.2 / Linux 3.8.6

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

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, I am new to Xen and I was wondering if the following construction would be feasible with the current Xen. I would like to put 2/3/4 new computers in my house, mainly for gaming. Instead of buying 2/3/4 different computers, I was thinking of building one computer with a 4/6/8-core CPU, 2/3/4 GPUs, 2/3/4 small SSDs, and attach 2/3/4 monitors to it, 2/3/4 keyboards and 2/3/4 mouses, and run VGA

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 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

Is there anyone actually using VT-d for GPU cards? From what I understand NVidia is impossible, but AMD does work for some cards. I would appreciate any hints from people that are actively using this technology. -- Simon Toth

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

Hi everyone, after following in the footsteps of the following discussion (http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-users/2013-09/msg00106.html) I had been able to turn my GTX 480 into a Quadro 6000. When I VT-d passthrough it to a Debian jessie VM it shows up fine and CUDA 5.5 seems to function properly up to a point: lspci -v: 00:04.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF100GL

Hi Gordan, I received my Asus GTX 480 today (bought on ebay). Finally I succeeded in - quadrifying my GTX 480  into a Quadro 6000 ( softmod). - overpassing the 3-4GB of RAM on Windows XP 64 bits (domU) by applying a well known patch for Xen. - playing Crysis 2 and Darksiders II for a few minutes. http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/953254ScreenshotXenSoftModedQuadro6000.png Using nvlfash I

Hi, everyone. I''m Guilherme Suzuki (brazillian, by the way) and really interested in xen-vga-passthru. Lately, I bought a brand new Saphire HD 7950 (OC Boost) because I saw in a wiki somewhere that users have been able to passthru these VGA devices to domU (win7, win-xp and so on). But, after I installed it, I executed *lspci -vv* to check if FLR in DevCap was present (which

Hi List, many People seem to be interested in the Graphic-Card Passthrough Feature (for more or less obvious reasons). Official Support is still under development, and i hope not to interfere with it in any (bad) way ... But i remember my own painfull and timeconsuming research when i wanted this feature to work, so i thought perhaps this spares some time for the unpatient users like me :)

Hi everyone, I would like to ask what the current status of FLR, or better of FLR emulation is in latest Xen and if we can expect better support in the future. I''m asking because with xl (latest build and traditional qemu, not upstream), I always had problems with rebooting domUs which have vga cards passed through to them, because appearently they don''t get reinitialized and

Hi, all, The attached patches try to improve the current FLR logic. The idea is: removing the FLR logic from hypervisor and adding the improved logic in Control Panel. The current FLR logic in hypervisor has some issues: 1) Dstate transition is not guaranteed to properly clear the device state; 2) the current code for PCIe FLR is actually buggy: PCI_EXP_DEVSTA_TRPND doesn''t mean the

Hi,all I have tried to passthrough GPU card(Nvidia quadro 4000) on the latest Xen unstable version (QEMU is using Qemu-upsteam-unstable, not traditional Qemu). This issue as below: Windows7 64-bit guest will blue screen when GPU passthrough configure 4g memory,blue screen code is 50, and SUSE 11 64-bit guest will always stay at the grub screen. I noticed that it will relocate RAM that

Platform : Nehalem, official Intel x58 with Core i7 920 (dx58so) Main (Console): Nvidia 9500 GT PCI Express Secondary: Nvidia 8800 GTS PCI Express Yes, I binned the ASUS P6T due to bad VT-d support in the BIOS. With the latest BIOS from Intel, the dx58so has enable/disable for VT-d, ICH FLR and Interrupt Mapping! Helped a lot with getting this working ... Dom0: 2.6.18-xen0 (built from

Hi, My Windows 8 Enterprise HVM domU configuration is as follows. I have to *disable* gfx_passthru, that is, gfx_passthru=0. Please take note. # XL domain configuration file for Windows 8 64-bit English HVM domU # Please refer to "man xl.cfg" for further explanations. # See also docs/misc/xl-network-configuration.markdown and # docs/misc/xl-disk-configuration.txt # Written by Teo En

Hello, I''ve successfully passed a unmodified GTX 760 to Win7 x64. It involved some driver patching on the client side but I''m close to getting the required steps on the server side, too. Are there any legal issues that might arise from releasing a patch? Bob [image: Inline image 1] _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org
