Subject: VGA passthrough with Drivers does not work
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:10:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C481902.9030603@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
In recent days, I try to passthrough VGA to a HVM windows XP
domain on my notebook.
There are two VGAs on the notebook, one is intel IGD (primary) and the
other is nvidia (secondary).
At first, the screen will be blank/black when I start a HVM with a
passed VGA (primary one).
After I connect a external monitor and disable GDM,
the screen (external monitor) will start to display the WinXP logo
(it seems that the passthrouh is successful),
and it is only 16-bit color in display when enters into WinXP
(it means it does not have any VGA driver).
The original screen (on notebook) still is black.
However,
when I reboot the machine after installing the VGA driver,
the screen has become black.
I also try to install driver without passthrough before,
then change the setting to the passthrought,
but it still goes to black screen.
How can I solve this problem?
By the way, I aslo have some questions.
1. Why a external monitor can display but the original (notebook screen)
does not?
2. In WinXP, I can see the bochs BIOS message when I start the HVM.
However, in Windows7, I only see a disordered screen until enters
into Winows7.
3. If the dom0 use printk (dmesg), the screen will not be align.
It just like print a message then the screen moves up.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
Tang-Hsun Tu
