Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH(es)] graphics passthrough with VT-d

Dear Alan,

When I extracted the vga bios for my nvidia geforce 8400 gs, i went into 
BIOS to set PEG as the primary video adapter. Then I booted using nvidia 
gfx and extracted the vga bios using nvflash.exe.
I believe it is possible to use a hex editor to examine the vga firmware 
file to see if it's the vga bios for nvidia.
