hello,

im trying to get a vm with vga passthrough running but i get always this
error:  Error: pci: PCI Backend and pci-stub don't own device 0000:00:02.0

The PC contains an Intel DQ67SW mainboard (q67 chipset) and an i5-2400s.
according to xm dmesg | grep I/O
(XEN) I/O virtualisation enabled
 vt-d is active.

im using kernel 3.1.0-0301rc9-generic x86_64 with CONFIG_XEN_PCIDEV_BACKEND=m and i loaded the module with following options in /etc/modprobe.d/xen-pciback
options xen-pciback passthrough=1
dmesg shows that with
[   15.566815] xen-pciback: backend is passthrough

and this is my config file for the vm:


import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64', arch):
    arch_libdir = 'lib64'
else:
    arch_libdir = 'lib'

kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
builder='hvm'
memory = 6144

# Should be at least 2KB per MB of domain memory, plus a few MB per vcpu.
shadow_memory = 32
name = "xenwin7"
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=virbr0' ]
acpi = 1
apic = 1
#disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb,hda,w' ]
#disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdb,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom.r' ]
#disk = [ 'file:/home/xen/xenwin7.img,hda,w', 'file:/home/xen/windows7.iso,hdc:$ disk = [ 'file:/home/martin/xenwin7.img,hda,w', 'phy:/dev/cdrom,hdc:cdrom,r' ]


device_model = '/usr/' + arch_libdir + '/xen/bin/qemu-dm'

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# boot on floppy (a), hard disk (c) or CD-ROM (d)
# default: hard disk, cd-rom, floppy
boot="dc"
sdl=0
vnc=1
vncconsole=1
vncpasswd=''

serial='pty'
usbdevice='tablet'

gfx_passthru=1
pci=['00:02.0']

this is the lspci output of the videocard.

        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 2008

        Capabilities: <access denied>
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915


i really hope you can give me an idea where to continue.

best wishes and thanks in advance.
martin
