Thanks for sharing. I will contribute my findings as needed. BTW, do you =

need my VBIOS loading patches (sent long time ago) for AMD GPU? It is a =

dilemma for several reasons:  it doesn't always work; sometimes it can =

screw up main display while passthru 2nd GPUs. Plus the recent Catalyst =

driver seems very stable even without these patches. But Wei Wang told =

me that he needs them for some of his cards.
