To ALL

I did my tests for 25070 yesterday And it is Ok for this revision version.


I've just forgot to update my article for this revision. (done now!).

I will not have time to use Xen processes to submit patches.

HOWEVER in the process of applying my patches, the following commands need to be run so a few files are generated.

./configure
make tools
cd tools
make clean
cd ..

then apply patches. t
hen make xen tools stubdom
then make install-xen install-tools install-stubdom

So I don't think that applying my patches could be done directly in Xen sources.
Moreover it depends on the choice done by the user.

As a wise man said "KISS" Keep IT Simple and Stupid.

 -create a directory where to put all patches somewhere in Xen sources

- create a README.first to explain how to use this patches with required commands (see above).

  I can make a resume of my article if required  in the README.first and update the wiki infos if required 

This is the simple easy why I found.

We just need to have the specific patches somewhere in the Xen sources because VGA passthrough is something very specific.

Kind regards.

David.

I am very interested in Xen VGA passthrough patches.

David Techer's Xen VGA passthrough website:

http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2011/12/07/860-xen-42unstable-patches-for-vga-pass-through

Are his Xen VGA passthrough patches able to work with Xen 4.2-unstable
CHANGESET 25070? I can observe that his patches only apply up to
changeset 24888.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
