David Techer told me it's a NVIDIA driver issue, which I don't think so. = I seriously wonder what's wrong with the glitch. I am using NVIDIA = driver version 296.17 for Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview: I can watch Youtube = videos with audio/sound and surf the internet as well. But I just can't = run 3d graphics benchmarks. Only 2d graphics benchmarks can be run. By the way, I have only recently bought this Palit NVIDIA Geforce 8400 = GS at SGD$44. If I buy an ATI card, what would you recommend that is = CHEAP? Must be PCI Express x16. Then do you think the Xen VGA = Passthrough patches are necessary any more? Please refer to the computer hardware pricelist here = http://www.fuwell.com.sg/uploads/misc/Fuwell240312.pdf and recommend me = a cheap ATI card. Preferably SGD$50. Finally, Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows XP Home Edition also has the = yellow exclamation mark glitch with NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS. With Xen = 4.2-unstable. Thank you very much. -- = Yours sincerely, Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Singapore On 27/03/2012 21:34, Tobias Geiger wrote: > Hi Teo, > > sorry to hear that it didn't help. > > Unfortunatly thats all the hints i'm able to give you - from now on you'r= e out > there alone so to speak :) > > Good luck - or (even on the danger of repeating myself:) just buy an ATI > card... > > Greetings > Tobias > > Am Dienstag, 27.
