Subject: PCI-Passthrough for Graphics card
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2008 12:16:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <491B2BA7.4050408@unixlords.com> (raw)

When I heard that kvm had pci-passthrough working for network cards, I 
thought I'd make an attempt to get my nVidia 8600GT video card to work 
in a Windows VM (thus satisfying my desire to quit dual booting, so I 
can play my stinking games.)

I'm having trouble interpreting my results so far. In windows, I get a 
Code 10 error, which if I read it correctly, means "There was an error, 
but I don't know what it is." To sum it up, nVidia has this to say:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_13957.html

With a fedora 10 i386 guest, any time a driver tries to touch the 
device, the cpu grinds, and the only thing that responds is moving the 
mouse around (and highlighting stuff.)

I'd like to contribute what I can, but I'll admit my programming is 
still at a pre-graduate level.

Thanks,
-Kai Meyer
