Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] graphics passthrough with VT-d

["Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)" <enming.teo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK I believe the 3rd patch is not incomplete but there's a white space issue when I copied the code from the mailing list into my vi.

See http://www.htdig.org/mail/2000/11/0167.html

When I used the -l flag to patch using the 3rd patch, the number of errors was reduced.

[root@fedora11-x86-64-host xen-unstable.hg-vgapt]# patch -l -p1 < intel-gfx-passthru-patch-3.patch 
patching file tools/firmware/hvmloader/Makefile
patching file tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 688.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c.rej

Now patching tools/firmware/hvmloader/Makefile is successful but patching tools/firmware/hvmloader/hvmloader.c still failed.

Dear Weidong,

A big big thanks for the vga passthrough patches for xen 3.5-unstable!!! These are eagerly anticipated patches. As I did not study computer science and computer architecture, I won't be able to write those patches you guys at Intel wrote.

I applied the following patches xen-gfx-passthrough.patch and qemu-gfx-passthrough.patch to xen 3.5-unstable without issues.

Then I tried to apply the 3rd patch you provided at http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-08/msg01047.html

I saved the following code

For everybody's convenience, I have attached intel-gfx-passthru-patch-3.patch and the firmware for my nVidia GeForce 8400 GS PCI Express x16 graphics card in this email.

Please help me complete intel-gfx-passthru-patch-3.patch as I really need it.

Thank you very much!!!

This patch supports basic gfx passthrough on QEMU:
  - disable emulated VGA adpater if there is passthroughed gfx
  - register/unregister legacy VGA I/O ports and MMIOs for passthroughed gfx
