I wonder if anyone had been able to run xen on laptop with A8 or A10 and pass the video card. Or if someone can recommend laptop that can run xen and can pass video card _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users

Only the A7 and A15 currently implement those. However since you mention laptops perhaps you mean some other A8/A10? Ian.
AMD''s latest APUs (CPU + GPU) are numbered A6, A8, and A10. These are laptop and desktop CPUs. Similar to how Intel CPUs are numbered i3, i5, and i7. The question is whether or not it''s possible to passthrough the integrated GPU.

However, the data on AMD-Vi support on Socket FM1 and FM2 platforms is VERY limited. I even sended a Ticket to AMD support 3 weeks ago and they never replied, so I will possibily send another one asking again. Basically, the very little info I was able to gather from other users is that you need a Motherboard with the A85X Chipset to have AMD-Vi support. I will have to spam AMD support until I get more details regarding support on other Chipsets, and if you also need a specific Processor model like Intel that got VT-d on some models, but its excluded on others. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-users
