VGA Passthrough on Xen 4.1: succees (IGD) and failure (ATI) report

VGA Passthrough on Xen 4.1: succees (IGD) and failure (ATI) report

[Gennady Marchenko]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 812 bytes --]

Hi all!

I'm very interested with XenVGAPassthrough and tries to do it on my system
with vt-d support:

CPU: Intel core2duo E8400
MB: Asus p5q-vm do
mem: 8GB

So I'm succeed at Intel IGD:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

with

Debian Sid's XEN 4.1/Linux 2.6.39-rc7+ (from git://
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git) and WinXP SP2 with
Intel's drivers version 6.14.10.5157

but no success with two ATI cards:

ATI X800GTO
ATI 5450
(on same m.board)

with empty screen. When I run HVM screen went from "empty" to another "empty
", HVM not booting.
So I don't know - is there need to do something with bios and how I can do
it with binary xen. Could you help me with it please?

Thanks all for this feature!
Gennady.

How does this patch work for you? You also need to install latest ATI driver 
in guest.

This patch doesnt work for me cause patched current sources can't be
compiled with following error :((( :

Ignore stubdom. This patch breaks it but you don't need them.
Run only:
make tools
make install-tools
make xen
make install-xen

Hello,

Is this patch considered final and good for merging to xen-unstable?

Recently many users have asked about Xen VGA passthru so we should
get all the related patches merged in to Xen trees!

Thanks,

I think someone needs to gather them together and repost them all as a
series.

As I said last time:  I think someone needs to gather them together and
repost them all as a series.

Realistically maintainers aren't going to go trawling list archives
trying to figure out which patches are necessary/correct/desirable etc.
Someone who has been following this stuff needs to pickup the relevant
patches and post them as a series and champion/babysit/justify that
series, respond to review comments, repost etc.

Upthread I see that the particular patch in question breaks the stubdom
build, so my first review comment is "please don't break stubdom".

I meant the "Ping" more like if Wei thought the patch was correct etc..

Yep.

I think I'll stand up and collect all the VGA passthru patches,
if noone else is willing to do that..
