Hi Sander, I answer your questions (including the one from last email) below: 1. Your gfx is a bit old. Some of the tricks (such as MMINDEX values 0x4010) aren't quite consistent across different generations of ATI gfx. I need to look at the log myself. I will locate an HD3000 card to debug. 2. The goal of this patch is to passthru the primary gfx as THE ONLY GFX inside guest VM (namely: my patch + set gfx_passthru=1 in guest config file). Since you are passthru the on-board secondary gfx, I am not sure qemu-dm is copying the correct VBIOS from address 0xc0000. One solution is to force VBIOS been read from a file, which can be downloaded from http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/. 3. Note that current Xen support passthru ATI gfx as a secondary gfx, even without my patch. So if you don't care about primary/secondary, you probably don't need this patch. Have you tried: existing Xen + passthru ATI without gfx_passthru=1? As for as I have seen, it worked for many ATI gfx.

I'm trying to passthrough a secondary card, so the primary(boot) card still has the xen/dom0 console. It could end up giving problems by loading the wrong/no bios in the hvmloader ? Should passing though a secondary graphics card also be possible with this patch ? -- Sander Sunday, December 12, 2010, 7:19:08 AM, you wrote: > This patch isn't meant to be final version.
