Dear Tobias Geiger,

You mean my problem cannot be solved at all (as regards to the yellow 
exclamation mark with NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS and CANNOT run 3D graphics 
benchmarks)? I _DO NOT_ have this problem back when I was doing Xen VGA 
Passthrough to Windows XP HVM domU with Xen 3.5-unstable. Yes, 3 years 
ago, back in the year 2009, with Xen 3.5-unstable. Back when Han Weidong 
was still around in Intel Corporation.

I am surprised that you are unable to open my Xen VGA Passthrough 
Version 1.6 PDF documentation. I have tried opening the file attachment 
myself and it is not empty.

To solve the problem with your email client, I am providing the Xen Wiki 
link to my Xen VGA Passthrough Version 1.6 PDF documentation.

Xen WIKI link: 
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_VGA_Passthrough_to_Windows_8_Consumer_Preview_64-bit_English_HVM_domU_and_Windows_XP_Home_Edition_SP3_HVM_domU_with_Xen_4.2-unstable_Changeset_25070_and_Linux_Kernel_3.3.0_in_Ubuntu_11.10_oneiric_ocelot_amd64_Final_Release_Dom0

You can also watch a Youtube video of my partially successful Xen VGA 
Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM virtual machine.

Xen WIKI link: 
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Video:_Xen_VGA_Passthrough_to_Windows_8_and_Ubuntu_11.10_with_Xen_4.2_and_Kernel_3.3

Please do help to read through my Xen VGA Passthrough Version 1.6 
documentation to see if there are any mistakes, *_ESPECIALLY MMIO BARS 
pBAR:vBAR 1:1 mapping._*

Thank you very much for your prompt response and kind assistance.
