Subject: RE: [Xen-devel] Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through
to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
I found I still cannot watch your video, even cannot access youtube.
The output of 'xm dmesg' means it really 1:1 maps for vBAR and pBAR. It should
be no problem. Can you post qemu log (/var/log/xen/qemu-dm-xxx.log)?
You below steps look correct. But I didn't encounter the error with build.c.
Tim, did you encounter the error?
Regards,
Weidong
