Re: [Xen-users] [Xen-devel] Successful Xen VGA Passthrough with Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6450 Display Card

[Teo En Ming <singapore.mr.teo.en.ming@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have already solved the 2 problems as mentioned in earlier emails.

The first problem is that the USB mouse and USB keyboard is not working in Windows 7 HVM domU. I solved this problem by installing USB 3.0 driver from http://www.asrock.com in Windows 7 HVM domU.

The 2nd problem is that the network bridge is not created automatically. I solved this problem by installing Virtual Machine Manager in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS dom0. libvirtd daemon automatically created the network bridge virbr0.

Please refer to the attached file amd.txt for installation guide.

I have solved all the problems.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming

Singapore
