Re: [Xen-users] Intel IGD passthrough in xen 4.4



Keep Reinis in the loop. 

Andre, do you mean that gfx_passthru=1 should be in front of pci = ['00:02.0’]  in cfg?

Hi there,

Yes. It is possible to pass through the IGD to a Guest. The process is pain-free and requires just two minor adjustments:

- You must configure your HVM guest to use 'device_model_version="qemu-xen-traditional"'
- Once you installed the Intel driver on your guest (I had success with both Windows 7 Intel binaries and Linux opensource drivers) your should set 'gfx_passthru=1' before enabling the pci pass through, otherwise you will get a BSOD when loading Windows.

Hope this helps.

gfx_passthru=0 # Set to 1 may help with some Nvidia cards. Search the
Internet for AMD cards and recommendations, though AMD cards should work
with 0. Setting gfx_passthru=1 will pass through the graphics card as
primary (and only) display adapter, without first booting the virtual
Cirrus Logic adapter. In most cases this requires a patched Xen
hypervisor, but in some cases it may work, depending on the graphics
adapter and perhaps the Windows version in use.

Regards,
Jason
