What is the Current Status of VGA Pass-through in Xen 4.0.0 Hypervisor?

[Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) of Singapore]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1645 bytes --]

Dear All,

I have been away from the xen-devel mailing list for a long time, since 
December 2009. I have not been kept up to date as to what is going on in 
the Xen community since that time.

May I know what is the latest xen-unstable release version? Should be in 
the Xen 4.x.x series right?

May I know what is the latest Xen pv-ops dom0 kernel release by Jeremy 
Fitzhardinge?

May I know what is the current status of VGA pass-through in the latest 
xen-unstable release and latest Xen pv-ops dom0 kernel release combined?

Thank you for your replies and answers.

Yours sincerely,

Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

Xen 4.0 is stable branch. Xen 4.0.1-rc6 was just released this week,
and Xen 4.0.1 final expected late next week:

xen.git xen/stable-2.6.32.x branch is the long-term maintained kernel,
currently it's at 2.6.32.19 version, changelog:

Some (many?) people have gotten it working for primary graphics cards..
And also there are problems with many cards, that require additional tweaks
or vBar=pBar patches.
