Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
Dear Christian, >Did you verify (and modify if applicable) the PCI resources as per
Weidong's comment here?
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.xen.devel/70749
Thanks for the tip! I missed this one. I believe it should solve the "not enough free resources" problem for my graphics card. Weidong and me are using different nvidia graphics card. Hence I should modify the dsdt.asl MMIO BARs entries in xen-vBAR-pBAR.patch to reflect my graphics card.
>On another topic, please don't answer to other threads to get attention
and keep threading working by replying to previous versions of your own
post or its replies (and and least for me, don't reply to my personal
mail address but just to the mailing-list) Sorry! No problem.

Hi All, I have solved the final problem. Thank you Christian Tramnitz for pointing me to the missing link. I have tested my own modifications to xen-vBAR-pBAR.patch and it works! I reproduce part of xen-vBAR-pBAR.patch here which I modified for my nVidia Geforce 8400 GS graphics card:

RE: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
Dear All, Here is my latest video presentation on VGA passthrough. Please check out my blog at http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com/ or the Youtube link at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ia3IwG6tp4
The "not enough free resources" problem for nVidia Geforce 8400 GS PCI Express x16 graphics card in earlier presentation videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNEiSI...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hOT_9...
was
fixed. Device manager in Windows XP HVM domU no longer shows an
exclamation mark besides the nVidia Geforce 8400 GS graphics card. The
device is working properly and the resources tab shows the available
memory ranges.
Full VGA passthrough to Windows XP HVM guest
operating system using Xen virtualization has been realized. I am now
able to run 3-D video benchmarks on the passed through nVidia GeForce
8400 GS graphics card.
All this is possible using Xen 3.5
hypervisor with Intel supplied VGA passthrough patches. Instead of
using pvops dom0 kernel 2.6.31-rc6 which causes Win XP domU to run
slowly, I am now using pvops dom0 kernel 2.6.30-rc3.
Many thanks
to Xen developers, Han Weidong and other engineers at Intel, and also
Christian Tramnitz for pointing me to the missing puzzle which helped me
in resolving the final problem.
I am now able to bootstrap
Windows XP HVM domU from within Linux using Xen virtualization and play
3D games in the Windows virtual machine. In the past, Windows virtual
machines can only see a 2D emulated/virtual display adapter. The
virtualized Windows operating systems were more palatable to server
administrators than gamers. With VGA pass through and direct hardware
access by Windows virtual machines to the graphics hardware, gamers will now be able to play 3D games inside Windows virtual machines.
PS:
I am still unable to passthrough USB devices, e.g. keyboard and mouse,
to the Windows XP HVM domU. This video is captured and rendered using
the open source kdenlive non-linear video editor. The video is taken
using Canon HV20. -- Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Alma Maters: (1) Singapore Polytechnic (2) National University of Singapore

It would help to isolate where the slowness is coming from. How much
slowdown are we talking about? Is the HVM domain doing lots of IO at
the time? Are there any processes using lots of time in dom0? What's
the interrupt rate like?

Btw you might also want to test with the latest rebase/master tree; it's
at Linux 2.6.31 final now.

Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
After disabling the USB 1.0 driver, but leaving the USB 2.0 driver compiled statically into the kernel, I get an error with the USB 2.0 driver. This means I cannot use either of the USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 drivers. Please refer to my blog post here:

Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
I have disabled USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 drivers simultaneously and enabled USB 3.0 driver but the kernel stops loading. Then I totally disabled all USB support by passing the "nousb" parameter to the kernel but it still stops loading.

Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
I have disabled all USB support in the kernel but I still couldn't get pvops dom0-patched kernel 2.6.31 final to
complete loading. All I get is a blinking cursor at the top left hand
corner of the monitor.

Did you try "nomodeset" parameter for the dom0 kernel?
Have you tried setting up a serial console and capturing the kernel boot
messages?

Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
Dear Pasi, Yes, I have tried the nomodeset kernel parameter without result. I couldn't get Jeremy's rebase/master branch (pvops dom 0 kernel
2.6.31) to work despite disabling all of USB support in the kernel. I
will troubleshoot this issue with the serial console enabled another
time. Meanwhile, I got Linus' mainline kernel 2.6.31 to work on
my system. So apparently the dom 0 patched kernel 2.6.31 has some
issues or I did not configure it properly.

Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
USB Device Pass Through Succeeded How thick I must have been! In my earlier blog posts with VGA
passthrough succeeded, I said that I couldn't passthrough any USB
device at all. As a matter of fact, Timothy had corrected my
usbdevice directive in the guest config file in an earlier mailing list
post but I didn't take a careful look at the usbdevice directive at
all. The correct usbdevice directive is: usbdevice = "host:vendorid:productid" I had used usbdevice = [ 'host:vendorid:productid' ] which is completely erroneous. I need to omit the square brackets for USB device passthrough to work.
I
have now successfully passed through the USB optical mouse to the
Windows XP Home HVM domU and using on-screen keyboard as a substitute
for the physical USB keyboard. The reason I am doing this is because QEMU with Xen can only allow one USB device to be passed through at any one time. It was so obvious and I missed the obvious! Sorry Timothy!

Dear Pasi,
Yes, I have tried the nomodeset kernel parameter without result.
I couldn't get Jeremy's rebase/master branch (pvops dom 0 kernel

will troubleshoot this issue with the serial console enabled another

Meanwhile, I got Linus' mainline kernel 2.6.31 to work on
my system. So apparently the dom 0 patched kernel 2.6.31 has some
issues or I did not configure it properly.

Did you try "nomodeset" parameter for the dom0 kernel?
Have you tried setting up a serial console and capturing the kernel boot
messages?

Did you try pv_ops dom0 kernel with dom0_mem=1024M parameter for xen.gz?
Some others are seeing problems with the recent kernels if they have

Re: Video Presentation on PCI Express x16 VGA Pass Through to Xen-based Windows XP Home Edition HVM Virtual Machine
Dear Pasi, No, I have not tried it yet. I have 8 GB of memory on my computer. What does dom0_mem parameter do? If I set dom0_mem, does it mean I cannot access more than 4 GB of memory even though I have 8 GB of memory?
