Hello,
I just created this wiki page:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenVGAPassthrough
Feel free to add/edit to make it better!
I haven't tested VGA passthru myself (yet), so there
might be some not-so-accurate information there.

Pasi,
The wiki looks great!
I have a minor correction on "Where X is 1 for IGD (Integrated Graphics Device) passthru, and 2 for discrete graphics card passthru." I wanted to use different values for IGD and discrete gfx, but actually it is not necessary, it can detect if it's IGD or not in code. When it's set, it enables gfx passthru for both IGD and discrete gfx. The default value is 0 (no gfx passthru). I already edited the wiki page.
Regards,
Weidong

Good idea, about wiki!
I'm experimenting with AMD (Six-Core Opteron CPU, RD890 Chipset) with
NVIDIA 8400 GS.
All i did were
* set 1:1 mapping between vBar and pBar
* load nvidia's VGA BIOS from the binary file, flushed with nvflash.exe
utility.
And the video works in guest, i didn't see any special ussues related to
IOMMU-part.
And i didn't see any mail, complaining that AMD hardware doesn't work
with GFX passthrough.

Could you send the extra patches you used? Or was it the old patch from the
xen-devel archives? iirc vBar=pBar stuff still requires additional patch.

Ok. I have to update the wiki page.
Do you know what other available AMD chipsets support IOMMU?

Hi Sergey and Pasi,
AMD RD-890 series chipset should be the first desktop chipsets to support an IOMMU,
if and which server chipsets also support it i don't know.
Good to know it seems to work ok, was considering to purchase that platform as well.
Sergey, what specific brand/type mobo do you use ?

Hello Sergey,
Ah if i look at the spec sheets it's not a RD-890 chipset, but a opteron server chipset.
http://www.tyan.com/datasheets/d_S8212.pdf
Chipset:
AMD SR5690 + SP5100 (S8212WGM3NR/S8212GM3NR)
AMD SR5670 + SP5100 (S8212GM3NRLE/S8212GM3NR-LE))
Nevertheless good to hear vga passthrough works for you.

So is RD-890 still ok, aka it has IOMMU support? Has anyone tested it with Xen?
Should I remove RD-890 from the wiki pages?

Hello Pasi,
It should have an iommu, but the mobo's are just on the market, haven't tested it myself.

In fact, we got an engineer sample sometime ago with RD890 chipset
lspci output:
00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RD890 Northbridge only dual
slot (2x16) PCI-e GFX Hydra part (rev 02)
And i tested VGA passthrough on RD890, not on SR5690/SR5670. And it has
IOMMU inside.

Now I'm confused.. so SR5690/SR5670 wasn't tested after all?

Hello, Pasi!
As wikipedia says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_800_chipset_series) :
The codenames of the chipsets "RD890S", "RD870S" and "SB700S" has also
changed to "SR5690", "SR5670" and "SP5100
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_700_chipset_series#SP5100>".^
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_800_chipset_series#cite_note-2>
Seems, that RD890 and SR5690 are the same chipset with different codenames.

Hmm from what i read before, the 890 series should all have a iommu.
But reading the wiki and http://www.amdzone.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=137489&p=178270 leaves me in doubt now :(
Seems it's only the server variants of the chipset.
