Re: [Xen-devel] Re : [SUCCESS] Xen 4.2-unstable Changeset 25099: VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM domU

Dear David Techer,

Could you read through my documentation "Xen VGA Passthrough - Version 1.6.pdf" to see if there are any mistakes?

The problem with the device manager yellow exclamation mark for NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS is that I couldn't run 3d graphics benchmarks. I can only run 2d graphics benchmarks.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

Here is a quick resume

- I am not able to see your screenhosts (Error 403 Forbidden) but it doesn't matter

- There is no problem in my documentation. Moreover in http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2011/12/07/860-xen-42unstable-patches-for-vga-pass-through in section "Tested domU"

there is a table where there is a list of advised driver to use for Windows XP 32/64 or Linux 32/64

Then for

Linux

====

Driver 275.28 or driver 275.43 works very well on my Linux 64 bits (Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.4)

Windows XP

==========

You should be well-advised to install the last NVIDIA drivers for series 275.XX (275.33 or 275.50). It works!

Now If you want to install NVIDIA drivers >= 280 DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR DEVICE MARK WITH A YELLOW MARK.

WINDOWS 8

==========

Two choices

- waiting to have a new NVIDIA driver that support your stuff

- Testing a old driver. I am not going to test any driver for you. I am not going to waste my time testing any old driver.

Big issue: testing an old driver may imply to reinstall Windows 8 from scratch. Not tested but I am pretty sure about that.

Dear Xen users, developers and David Techer,

I have just downloaded, compiled, and installed Xen 4.2-unstable Changeset 25099 with Xen VGA Passthrough patches. Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM domU is successful. Or I should say *PARTIALLY* successful. Why? Please see the screenshots below.

David Techer, could you read through my "Xen VGA Passthrough - Version 1.5.pdf" to see if there are any mistakes, which might be causing the above-mentioned error in device manager for NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS? I could not run 3D graphics benchmarks. I can only run 2D graphics benchmarks.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
