Re: [Xen-devel] Newbie on VGA-Passthru

[Superymk <superymkxen@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Pasi,

Thanks for your reply. I've read the link you provide. I even redo the 
experiment with the xen-unstable version and use merely 1 vga graphics 
card according to 
http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/Patches-for-VGA-Passthrough-XEN-4-2-unstable-tt4406265.html. 
It still shows only the qemu console in vnc client.
I also follow the 
link:http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-05/msg01471.html. 
But it still produce the same result.
I attach the log and lspci result. I find that my video card has the 
same memory address range with the one in 
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-05/msg01471.html. So 
I think the patch should work to me, but it is not. Also, I am confused 
with this line "register_real_device: Real physical device 03:00.0 
registered successfuly!". Why it doesn't boot OS normally if the vga 
card is registered successfully? The DomU has WinXP installed.
Any suggestion? Please figure it out if I still miss something. Thanks!
