Dear David Techer,

Could you read through my documentation "Xen VGA Passthrough - Version 
1.6.pdf" to see if there are any mistakes?

The problem with the device manager yellow exclamation mark for NVIDIA 
Geforce 8400 GS is that I couldn't run 3d graphics benchmarks. I can 
only run 2d graphics benchmarks.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
