This package exists for the specific purpose of adding ported patches based on those originally created by Alex Williamson for:

Arbitrary patches will not be added.

Refer to the wiki on PCI passthrough and this blog post on IOMMU groups for risks/caveats before using this package.

Regular AUR etiquette applies as well (knowledge of makepkg and searching the wiki/Arch forums is expected, and AUR helpers or Arch-based distros that are not Arch Linux are unsupported).

Working perfectly Thanks zman0900

Thanks for the info. I actually signed up to that mailing list a month or so ago and immediately forgot about it. Guess it's time for some reading.

It was mentioned on the vfio-users mailing list [1] that 4.3 and a fix in OVMF may solve some issue. If I were you, I would start seriously looking for a solution when kernel 4.3 is released. As for now, I will look for a solution in my spare time. [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/vfio-users/2015-October/msg00145.html

Looks like my issue with screen shutting off when I log into gnome is related to one of the patches on this kernel. I have realized that the same version (4.2.3) of the main arch kernel allows all my screens to turn on. Considering gpu pass through is also broken for me with 4.2+ of this kernel, I'm assuming all the problems are caused by the ACS patch. I think I'll try to figure out the issue this weekend, but I'm a Java programmer so it probably won't go well. If anyone has any advice on where to start or already knows the problem, please let me know.

It could also be that you are using something like yaourt and you do not have enough RAM to compile it fully in /tmp. See the wiki [1] for details. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt#Build_directory

"No space left on device" That means you are out of hard drive space. Free up some space or use another partition.

If you don't want to compile this package yourself, I am providing the package on my repo [1]. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#markzz

Thanks, just needed to uncomment the auto key retrieval
