[Xen-users] Reporting success with Intel HD4000 VGA Passthrough

[Ricardo Jesus <ricardo.meb.jesus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I was able to do VGA/PCI Passthrough on an i7-3770 integrated GPU
HD4000 to a Windows 8 HVM.

Xen 4.1.3 running on a Debian Wheezy (kernel 3.2.0-3-amd64 and
3.5-trunk) dom0, xm toolstack and pci-stub were used. Other PCI
devices such as USB 2.0 controller and audio were also passed to the
domU.

The hardware used is the following:
    Intel Core i7-3770 CPU,
    Intel DQ77MK Motherboard with BIOS 0049 and 0050,
    32GB GEIL DDR3 1600 MHz,
    200GB Maxtor SATA HDD,
    Samsung SyncMaster 940BW Monitor.

This setup is running since August and is used for gaming, namely Team
Fortress 2 with near native speeds.

I've posted an HowTo on the procedure that was used at
http://linux-bsd-sharing.blogspot.pt/2012/10/howto-xen-413-windows-8-hvm-domu-with.html.

I was also able to PCI passthrough a secondary GPU to both Windows 8
and Linux HVMs, in this case a PowerColor Go! Green HD5450 1024MB DDR3
PCIEx16.

Please add this hardware to the Wiki.

Regards,
Ricardo Jesus.
