Xen users - Feb 2009 - Re: Xen-users Digest, Vol 47, Issue 160

Congrats!

I''m trying to do something similar with an Intel DQ45CB board and ATI
HD2600XT card. I don''t intend to use the integrated gfx. So I should
see the
screen being blanked out if passthrough works. But I''m not seeing that.

Are your steps mostly similar to those described at
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VTdHowTo?

I''m running out of ideas on what to try.

Best Rgds,
Alexia
