Dear David Techer,

I always read my emails very carefully.

But in Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Device Manager 
reports that "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported 
problems. (Code 43)" for NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS. Device Manager also 
reports that "This device isn't using any resources because it has a 
problem.". Yellow exclamation mark for NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS Xen VGA 
Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview is NOT the issue. *_I believe 
the problem has to do with VGA Card MMIO BARs 1:1 matching, i.e. the 
file tools/firmware/hvmloader/acpi/dsdt.asl._*
_*
David Techer and Intel Corporation engineers Zhang Xiantao, Ren Yongjie 
and Han Weidong and Citrix Engineer Ian Campbell:*_

Could you help me to check through Sections 3, 4, and 6 of my "Xen VGA 
Passthrough - Version 1.6.pdf" documentation to see if there are any 
mistakes?

Please also see the following Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer 
Preview screenshots for Device Manager.

Thank you very much for checking through my Xen VGA Passthrough 
documentation.

Yours sincerely,
