Xen 4.3 unstables and Xen 4.2 patches for VGA PassThrough (NVIDIA)
Hi, You can find all historical details and download links of these patches both Xen 4.3 and Xen 4.2 using the following url http://www.davidgis.fr/documentation/Xen_VGA_PassThrough/doc.html Technical details to install those patches could be found on the mailing lists or google.... It takes me a lot of time to maintain those patches: test several changesets and so on Using these patches depends on your hardwares. There may be several issues depending on your own hardware. Thanks. David. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Re: Xen 4.3 unstables and Xen 4.2 patches for VGA PassThrough (NVIDIA)
Hello,
I''m running a 64bit Win 7 vm with nvidia 310.90 on xen 4.2
with your patches and a 560 TI.
Configuration :
Primary graphic card
: MSI 560TI 1GB
Secondary graphic card : IGFX
Core i7-3770
Xen
dom0 : Gentoo Kernel 3.6.6
When you first boot to win7 after powering
up your dom0, install 275.xx driver.
Reboot, your VM should have a
full vga passtrhough.
Then you could install any of the nvidia 3xx.xx
and use it.
If you reboot the VM there will be no acceleration, so
reinstall the 275.xx, reboot and reinstall the 3xx.xx
The only thing
is that i still can''t use more than 3096Mb without encountering a BSOD
at boot.
My grub config :
menuentry ''Gentoo GNU/Linux, with Xen
hypervisor'' --class gentoo --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os
--class xen $menuentry_id_option

Re: Xen 4.3 unstables and Xen 4.2 patches for VGA PassThrough (NVIDIA)
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your own experience. I will have a try for this driver next
week.
Since last Monday I am working on Xen 4.3 unstable and ATI Cards (HD 6870 + HD
7970).
This is my first tests for ATI.
Current changeset 26520 seems to work even if I had to check which are the real
patches to apply (except Makefile and rombios.c) without extracted the vga bios
rom from card.
Last Catalyst drivers 13.2 beta could be installed (by avoiding to install CCC)
I was very happy to be able to play Darksiders 2 on a windows 7 64-bit :)
HD 6870 seems to be interesting (domU can reboot without rebooting dom0 +
msitranslate = 0).
