Re: [Xen-devel] good progress on pci vga passthrough in xen-3.4-rc1

Hi Tim,

Here is the current status for the different vendors.

Nvidia graphic cards don't work as primaries, there are some issue
with the bios rexecution.
Nvidia cards should work as a seconday display adapter side by side
with the cirrus.

So far ATI doesn't support vt-d.

Intel graphic card only works as a primary.
