Hi.
I
did some researches to find out how I did install drivers for
nvidia vga under windows 7 DomU and this is my conclusion. No
matter how system is prepared, Dom0 and hardware, if it works
with windows xp then could work with windows 7 (my testing
platform had Dom0 kernel 3.6-rc7 with xen 4.2.1-pre). Most
important thing is how to foul windows to accept drivers. This
is how I did this. Three separate installations of windows 7 and
each time success:
1)
for windows 7 installation in DomU configuration setup like
this:
gfx_passthrough=0
#pci
= ['1:00.0'] // in my case NVIDIA VGA BDF is 1:00.0
#pci_msitranslate
=
2)
when You install windows 7 shut it down and change DomU config.
show vga to windows but don't pass it thru yet:
gfx_passthrough=0
pci = ['1:00.0']
#pci_msitranslate =
3)
start DomU and install nvidia drivers. in my case 275.33 or
275.50, both work and I didnt check newer
4)
shut down DomU and setup his configuration. its finally
configuration in my case :
gfx_passthrough=1
pci = ['1:00.0']
#pci_msitranslate =
5*)create
DomU and drivers could works and no error 43
*
because my system setup i need to restart Dom0 before step 5
**
if there still will be reported problem with drivers under
windows 7 I will make more researches for different kernels/Dom0
configurations
