[Xen-devel] Mixed results -- VGA Passthrough with Intel 82Q35 IGD
I have two workstations with Intel 82Q35 Integrated Graphics. The
first is a Dell Optiplex 755 (Intel Core 2 Duo, latest Dell BIOS); the
second is a custom-built machine (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550, Intel
DQ35JO motherboard, latest Intel BIOS rev. 1143). VGA Passthrough to a
Windows 7 guest works flawlessly on the former. Using the exact same
Xen/Dom0/DomU configuration on the latter, the monitor flickers when
the guest is started and then goes blank. The monitor remains powered
on while the guest is running, suggesting it is receiving some sort of
signal, but no pixels are ever illuminated.
I''m running OpenSUSE 11.3 in Dom0, along with the Xen 4.0.0 package
distributed by SuSE. I''ve also tried OpenSUSE 11.4 in Dom0 with the
Xen 4.0.2 package; same result in both cases. VT-d is enabled on both
machines, and PCI passthrough of other devices works correctly on both
workstations. With the exception of the memory ranges assigned to the
two IGD devices, the messages emitted in the QEMU and xend logs on
both workstations are more or less identical. I''ve tried updating the
BIOS to various revs on the non-working machine. Using
''iommu=verbose''
on the Xen command-line, I don''t see anything in the ring buffer that
would suggest a problem.
Any suggestions on how I could further debug this issue? Below I''ve
included hwinfo for the two IGD devices. I''d be happy to attach other
logs if they would help.
Thanks!
Jason

Re: [Xen-devel] Mixed results -- VGA Passthrough with Intel 82Q35 IGD
I would guess something relating to the fact that dell modifies the vga bios if i remember. I think there is a way to extract that vga rom and supply it when starting the vm. Someone here could probably shed a little more light, I haven''t done it myself I just recall seeing it on this list in the past.

Re: [Xen-devel] Mixed results -- VGA Passthrough with Intel 82Q35 IGD
Actually, the Dell is the one that works! The machine with the Intel BIOS doesn''t work. I''ve tried using a VGA BIOS extracted from discrete graphics cards in the past. Can anyone point me to a tool for extracting the VBIOS from an Intel chip?
