Hello! So I compiled and am running the 4.2 release...did the ./configure; make world; make install It works, and am running an ati vga passthrough windows system, except for usb and sound... I have a couple of questions, if you can help me with some of these it would be appreciated. How do I run qemu upstream in this release? I''m trying to have sound in win7 64bit sound but I can''t get qemu upstream to work. Anybody have success with win7 sound? I''m using device_model_override=''/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386'' What happened to the command xm usb-add, there is no xl usb-add equivalent?? I need to do this for my usb keyboard and mouse. Also any particular reason we can specify a list of pci devices to passthru but not a list for usbdevices?? The config will only pass 1 usbdevice, we should be able to pass a list of usbdevices no? As an alternative I tried to passthru the pci usb controllers but windows recognizes the controllers but for some reason does not recognize the usb keyboard/mouse as being attached. Finally how do I connect to the qemu console?? ctrl-alt-shift-2,1 just show me blank screens (console=1), I have no way to pass additional usb devices by usb-adding them. Thanks Paul

But PCI/VGA passthrough is not supported by the QEMU upstream shipped with Xen 4.2.> Finally how do I connect to the qemu console?? ctrl-alt-shift-2,1 just > show me blank screens (console=1), I have no way to pass additional > usb devices by usb-adding them.For consoles: use shell$ xl console domain Regards, -- Anthony PERARD

"xl console" gives you the PV/text console, and you can use VNC viewer to connect to the graphical console, as usual? -- Pasi
