Hi

Thanks for your response, I can imagine hundred of people asked the same
questions already -
but as said it was hard to get an up to date documentation about this.
However I did experiment more with it, my graphics card is an GeForce
GTX470.
I came to the conclusion that passthru works great with XP (both 32bit
and 64bit) but giving me issue's whenever Im trying on Windows 7 64bit.

It seems that vga passthru doesnt work for the newer qemu-xen model
(using Qemu 2.0.0), so Im using
qemu-xen-traditional along with the old bundled qemu-dm which works fine
for XP.

I'll attach my hvm config Im using right now - I'll basically use it for
both XP and Win7.
I've also a different HVM for other HVM's where I rather use qemu 2.0.0
and Spice, but this is a different topic (nothing todo with VGA Passthru).
Basically Im on Gentoo and using Xen 4.4.0-r7, but changed the xen-tools
ebuild slightly as it would not build the traditional qemu by default.

So any idea why this is not working right for Win7?
Win7 also seems to be a lot slower with qemu-xen-traditional, is that a
bug in the old model?

regards,
Georg
