[Xen-users] PCI Passthrough for Windows Half Success on xen-unstable
Dear Xen users, I have finally been able to pass through a graphics card to a guest running windows XP. This is because after enabling I/O virtualization on xen-unstable, I was finally able to do a xm pci-attach to my guest domain, and my guest is able to see an unknown device. Then, I tried to install the corresponding driver, and it succeeded. However, the problem now is that the real driver is not able to access resource, according to the driver status in window''s device manager. Does anyone has a take on this? Thanks, - billy _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I was not able to get any display on my native monitor though, all I can do is to connect in using vncviewer from a remote computer which ssh to the dom-0 of the machine which runs xen. - billy _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
