similar to: VGA/PCI Passthrough of Secondary Graphics Adapter

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 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

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

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

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

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, I''m doing VGA passthrough for an ATI (HD 6770) graphics card to a DomU Windows. The passthrough itself is working. However, everytime when I reboot the DomU Windows, the whole machine freezes. I see no error messages from Dom0 kernel or the xen qemu log (or perhaps I haven''t got the most verbose debugging turned on?). Though from what I can tell, the the freeze happens

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

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 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

Dear Gordan, I have a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 560. Is it possible to mod it into a Quadro? If it is possible, please give me the link with the list of steps to mod it into a Quadro. Is it a simple process? Thank you very much. -- Yours sincerely, Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

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:

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

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

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, My Windows 8 Enterprise HVM domU configuration is as follows. I have to *disable* gfx_passthru, that is, gfx_passthru=0.
