To ALL
I did my tests for 25070 yesterday And it is Ok for this revision version.
last patches are the same
http://www.davidgis.fr/download/xen-4.2_rev24798_gfx-passthrough-patchs.tar.bz2
I''ve just forgot to update my article for this revision. (done now!).
I will not have time to use Xen processes to submit patches.
HOWEVER in the process of applying my patches, the following commands need to be
run so a few files are generated.
./configure
make tools
cd tools
make clean
cd ..
then apply patches. t
hen make xen tools stubdom
then make install-xen install-tools install-stubdom
So I don''t think that applying my patches could be done directly in Xen
sources.
Moreover it depends on the choice done by the user.
As a wise man said "KISS" Keep IT Simple and Stupid.
-create a directory where to put all patches somewhere in Xen sources
- create a README.first to explain how to use this patches with required
commands (see above).
I can make a resume of my article if required in the README.first and update
the wiki infos if required
This is the simple easy why I found.
We just need to have the specific patches somewhere in the Xen sources because
VGA passthrough is something very specific.
Kind regards.
David.

I am very interested in Xen VGA passthrough patches.
David Techer''s Xen VGA passthrough website:
http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2011/12/07/860-xen-42unstable-patches-for-vga-pass-through
Are his Xen VGA passthrough patches able to work with Xen 4.2-unstable
CHANGESET 25070? I can observe that his patches only apply up to
changeset 24888.
Thank you very much.
Yours sincerely,
Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
