Hi,

I= 217;m currently trying to use XEN on graphical cluster.

VGA = passtrough works fine and I’m able to use quad-buffer for active ster= eo.

The = last thing to do is to synchronize all GPU from the cluster.

For = this purpose I use ATI FirePro S400 and it didn’t works.

I= 217;ve seen two behaviors:

-Whe= n I run lspci command on Dom0 I’ve got:

0f:= 00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6888=

0f:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress HDMI A= udio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]

And = sometimes just

0f:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc D= evice 6888

-Whe= n a DomU(Windows 7) is running, it’s very slow (I can’t do anyt= hing) and crash after several minutes.

I= 217;ve tried with the unstable version and I’ve seen the same ‘= lspci’ behavior.

I= 217;ve a couple of questions:

Is i= t possible to passthrough a VGA with this extension?

As i= t’s a particular use of VGA passtrough is it planned to able to use s= ynchronization module?

Is i= t easy to add this feature (time cost)?

I'm able to run VMs with all functionality needed for VR context: -Quadbuffer -Genlock -Swaplock I've tried in a CAVE system (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave_automatic_vi= rtual_environment) and it's perfect! - Windows 7 is ok. - Windows 8 seems to be driver issue. I've started to compare some behaviors with native installation, at this po= int all those behaviors comes from drivers. I will try to make it work with XP. I think we will see XEN be used in lot of Virtual Reality / Augmented Reali= ty labs! >I've made a quick test on Xen 4.2.0-rc2 with a compiled kernel from: >http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Mainline_Linux_Kernel_Configs >Windows 7 has the same behavior and I haven't tried other OS. > >Does anyone have run tests for active stereo with VGA passthrough? > >Thanks, >Aur=E9lien >>> > _______________________________________________ >> > Xen-devel mailing list >> > Xen-devel@lists.xen.org >> > http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel >> = >> = >> _______________________________________________ >> Xen-devel mailing list >> Xen-devel@lists.xen.org >> http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
