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

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

Dear Gordan,

I have just attempted rebooting Windows 8 HVM domU 3x times. The GPU 
does not crash, there is no performance degradation and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 
dom0 did not crash. I am using Xen 4.4.1.
However, I have also discovered a *new* problem. When I tried to play a 
Youtube video, there are artifacts (or short lines) in the Youtube 
video. How can I solve this? Please refer to screenshot below.

Thank you very much.
