[Xen-users] Re: Using pciback to dynamically bind/unbind primary display
err console output... I'm new to this

Turns out I passed "dynpm" to radeon/power_profile instead of radeon/power_method and it crashed atom bios (kept locking, timing out in the error log). Works fine now. How do I control, on the fly, where kernel output goes though?

On Debain 3.1.0-rc7, Radeon 6870 and Xen 4.1 (no patches)
I used
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/radeon/unbind
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/bind
to move my primary display adapter (01:00.0) to pciback for domU use. The display, as expected, turned off. I had enabled ssh to do this, and have access to the system still. I then used
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/unbind
echo -n 0000:01:00.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/radeon/bind
to pass it back to dom0 at which point the display turned back on. Thinking all was well, I made a script to do the above and executed it (with a sleep of 10 seconds after the first bind) at which point I lost the display, as expected, but it didn't come back. I then logged in through ssh and find that the radeon driver is bound to 01:00.0, but still no display.
I think I need to tell the console to output to the radeon driver, but I have no idea how and a google search is proving fruitless. Any help? I've also noticed that unbinding/binding the radeon driver is now (it wasn't initially) very slow to respond.
Thanks!
