Hi,

I've been looking to virtualize a Win7 guest and a Gentoo Linux guest
side by side, each having access to one video card.  However, most of
the consumer cards I've looked at are either somewhat out of date
(Nvidia 8800 GTS) or not listed on the wiki page for VGA passthrough:

http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenVGAPassthroughTestedAdapters

Based on my reading of the pages around VTd and IOMMU, I should be able
to use the patches to accomplish my goal if I choose a card that works
with Xen (or use one of the workarounds, for instance vBAR=pBAR).

I'm inclined to think this page is out of date as I've heard mention
that various Intel IGD onboard cards have support... is there a
different resource I should be looking to to determine which cards I
should consider buying?

Eric Stein
