I am at office for the moment. I will have a try when I go back to home in a couple of hours.

Thanks.

David.

Hello,

glad to hear it works for you!

As i run a similar setup, perhaps you can share your experience regarding
DomU-Reboot with a VGA Card passed through to it: Does a reboot work, i.e.
does the passed-through VGA Card work after a DomU reboot?

My hole System (DomU + Dom0) freezes after a reboot of DomU (exaclty then,
when the passed-through VGA Card is accessed...), therefore the question.

Thanks for your info!
Greetings
Tobias
