Hi,

I have just passed through my NVIDIA Geforce GTX 560 to CentOS 6.3 
x86-64 HVM domU. I am wondering whether the Xen VGA Passthrough is 
successful.

The following information is obtained from inside CentOS 6.3 x86-64 HVM 
domU:

00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF114 [GeForce GTX 
560] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Notice that the nouveau VGA driver is loaded and is in use. Is Xen VGA 
Passthrough 100% successful? I have successfully installed the NVIDIA 
driver but I couldn't get it to load, so I reverted back to the nouveau 
driver.

I have such tough time getting Xen VGA Passthrough to work successfully 
on Windows HVM domU that I am giving up on Xen VGA Passthrough to 
Windows HVM domU!!! Windows 7 and Windows 8 HVM domU device manager 
always report error code 43 with a yellow triangle. Windows XP HVM domU 
device manager always report error code 10 with a yellow circle.
