Subject: version recommendation for VGA passthrough in Windows 7guest, on headless host
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 21:03:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5307BF0A.8000306@spamcop.net> (raw)
I plan to setup a headless KVM hypervisor (i.e. pci-stub assigned to
GPU) and guest Windows 7 with vga passthrough to AMD GPU as the only
screen (i.e. -vga none -device vfio-pci,*). I have SuperMicro
motherboard and a pair of Xeons E5-26*V2 and plenty of RAM for this, and
am not afraid of running bleeding edge version, if it helps to make such
setup perform well. As for distribution, I consider starting with Arch
(thanks to this guide https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768
) but Fedora 20 or other options are obviously open.
I am looking for recommendation where to get most the fitting package or
sources for the task, for libvirt and qemu (and what else?). My starting
point will be likely kernel 3.13.4 , libvirt 1.2.1 and qemu 1.7.0 .
Should I look into git repositories for development versions instead, or
any specific patches? Where from? TIA!
