Please Note: Per best-practices by upstream this package follows the git stable branch. Minor releases do not require a version bump and the PKGBUILD will provide the appropriate version number.

stubdom is still broken.

I personally haven't tried recently - when I first started to play with gfx passthrough some initial research showed that GeForce cards & drivers didn't really like to be virtualized, so I picked up the Radeon 6770, used the GeForce 550 Ti for my dom0 and passed the 6770 through to Windows. This was several months ago now, and I ended up switching out the 550 because the Nvidia binary drivers didn't like to be run under dom0 either. My lab server doesn't currently support IOMMU so can't test easily if thats changed. I have been watching some developments of people modifying their GeForce cards to pretend to be Quadro cards (Quadros have much better virtualization support) and their stories appear to be mostly successful - examples would be http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2013/09/18/969-xen-430-vga-passthrough-gtx-480-soft-moded-to-quadro-6000 and http://www.altechnative.net/2013/09/17/virtualized-gaming-nvidia-cards-part-2-geforce-quadro-and-geforce-modified-into-a-quadro-higher-end-fermi-models/ (note: newer GeForce mods require hardware changes, earlier can be done by flashing a modified bios)

kantras: thank you for taking this on! I tried to get gfx passthrough (PCIe passthrough of a NVidia GeForce 660 card) working a few months ago and failed. Do you have pass-through working for an NVidia GeForce card currently or recently? (This is off-topic so if you want to take it to email, please feel free to email me.)

Ok, the latest v4.3.0-5 version has been uploaded. If anyone needs the 4.2 version, that should be still available via the previous link (and I can backport fixes if still needed)

@ironicbadger: This is a known issue when dealing with passing through ATI graphics cards - the graphics card isn't reset and the graphics drivers don't do it either. There has been success when using an Nvidia Quadro card (or a GeForce which has been modified to look like a Quadro - the Nvidia Quadro drivers are better designed for handling virtualized environments) I'm also watching some discussion on the xen-devel list about other ways this could be tackled but nothing available there yet.

I had offered, we just hadn't been around at the same time to be able to transfer :)

Kantras, please take ownership :)

shanmu isn't very active with this package, kantras, have you thought about maintaining it? Your PKGBUILD fixes at least some bluez v. bluez4 issues: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1330200#p1330200

Comment by zman0900 2013-08-25 23:29 4.3.0-4 with the ATI Passthrough patch works for me for my Windows 8 + ATI HD7850 HVM setup. I had to add 'device_model_version="qemu-xen-traditional"' to my config, but no other changes were necessary. This worked for me too in so far as getting the VGA passthrough working, with the ATI patch applied to 4.3.0-4, with a 7970. It works great until I reboot the domU at which point the GPU is not reinitialized and only VNC access is available. If I reboot the dom0 then all is well. Is there a script I can run that will trick the GPU into resetting once the domU has shutdown?

@zootboy, @zman0900: Thanks for the feedback. I've updated my local staged copy with fixes for 09_xen and will be testing the other reported issue as well. If no-one has any other issues/etc, should be uploading a new copy over the weekend (also need to go through the xen-user and xen-devel lists to get back up to speed on any other fixes, etc)

I put in a feature request with binutils-multilib to get the necessary feature enabled for xen.efi to build. If you have UEFI and would like to not have to rebuild binutils after updates, consider voting for this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36713
