Re: [Xen-users] [Xen-devel] VGA passthough still not working



Pasi,

I have that enabled in my BIOS, VT-d for the chipset and VT-x for the CPU.

Have you managed to pass your gpu through to the domU?

Regards

Sandi

I've been using VT-d with Xen with Intel 5500 series chipset, and Xeon 5600 series CPU.
VT-d needs to be enabled in the BIOS.
