Hello!
So I compiled and am running the 4.2 release...did the ./configure;
make world; make install
It works, and am running an ati vga passthrough windows system, except
for usb and sound...

I have a couple of questions, if you can help me with some of these it
would be appreciated.

How do I run qemu upstream in this release? I'm trying to have sound
in win7 64bit sound but I can't get qemu upstream to work.
Anybody have success with win7 sound?
I'm using device_model_override='/usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386'

What happened to the command xm usb-add, there is no xl usb-add
equivalent?? I need to do this for my usb keyboard and mouse.
Also any particular reason we can specify a list of pci devices to
passthru but not a list for usbdevices?? The config will only pass 1
usbdevice, we should be able to pass a list of usbdevices no?
As an alternative I tried to passthru the pci usb controllers but
windows recognizes the controllers but for some reason does not
recognize the usb keyboard/mouse as being attached.
Finally how do I connect to the qemu console?? ctrl-alt-shift-2,1 just
show me blank screens (console=1), I have no way to pass additional
usb devices by usb-adding them.

Thanks
Paul

To use qemu upstream, you should use:
device_model_version = "qemu-xen"

Here, device_model_override is not needed. But PCI/VGA passthrough is
not supported by the QEMU upstream shipped with Xen 4.2.

For consoles: use
shell$ xl console domain

But I think the most recent version of upstream Qemu supports Xen PCI passthru, right? 
(but not the 1.0 (?) version of upstream qemu that's included in Xen 4.2).

I think the console= option for xl/libxl is not yet supported/developed.

Uhm, sorry, I meant to say that "monitor=1" option is not yet supported,
but you probably weren't asking for that.

"xl console" gives you the PV/text console, and you can use VNC viewer
to connect to the graphical console, as usual?

Indeed. But I never tried VGA passthrough.

Yes.  Look on the mailing list  - I mentioned what I needed to
do to enable PulseAudio on the host.

Why?

Could be that it never got implemented in 'xl'.

Good. That is a security hole.
