Re: [SUCCESS REPORT] Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM domU and Windows XP Home Edition HVM domU with Xen 4.2-unstable Changeset 25070 in Ubuntu 11.10 amd64 Dom0

Dear Yongjie,

I was unable to use Xen 4.2-unstable with Intel IGD. X server cannot 
start properly when I was using Intel IGD on DQ45CB motherboard. When I 
switched to NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS, X server starts properly. Konrad 
Wilk told me I need to set CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU=y but in the default 
Ubuntu 11.10 configuration, that parameter is disabled.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
