Re: [Xen-users] Re: [Xen-devel] Requesting Assistance from Intel Engineers on Intel Integrated Graphics (IGD) VGA Passthrough for Xen 4.0.1-RELEASE and pv-ops dom0 kernel 2.6.32.x

[Weidong Han <weidong.han@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi En Ming,

Per the screenshot images, IGD passthru looks fine. In my experience, if 
you can load the driver for IGD, it should work.
I remember you passthru IGD successfully before. Are you using the same 
platform and image?
I took a look at your config files post in Aug. I noticed a line "memory 
= 3072" in hvm config file. It's weird to specify this memory size. Pls 
change it to reasonable memory size, such as 1024, 2048, etc.
Regards,
Weidong
