[Xen-devel] nVidia Geforce 8400 GS PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Windows XP Home 32-bit HVM Virtual Machine with Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB

["Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" <enming.teo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I have managed to do PCI-e VGA passthrough with the open source Xen but 
the work is still in progress because although Windows XP guest can see 
the REAL PCI-e x16 graphics card instead of an emulated graphics driver, 
it cannot be initialized yet.
Thanks to Intel Engineer Han Weidong, Pasi Kärkkäinen, Boris Derzhavets, 
Marc, Caz Yokoyama, and others who have helped me and shared their 
knowledge with me along the way.
System Configuration:

Intel Desktop Board DQ45CB with BIOS upgraded to 0093
Onboard Intel GMA 4500 Graphics (IGD)
nVidia Geforce 8400 GS PCI Express x16 Graphics Card

Fedora 11 Linux 64-bit Xen paravirt operations Domain 0 Host Operating 
System
