Hi,
I have run into more problems now. This time with VT-d.
When I enable VT-d on this laptop, graphics again stops working in dom0 with pvops (linux 2.6.32.21). the screen starts showing garbage as soon as it switches into graphics mode.this happens when I boot the pvops kernel both as dom0 and native linux. However, when I try 2.6.33 based pvops kernel (stable-2.6.33.x) graphics seems to work fine with VT-d when running native but it doesnt work when running as Dom0.

so now the problem is:

with stable-2.6.32.x: graphics works in Dom0 without Vt-d but not with VT-d (neither native nor Dom0).
with stable-2.6.33.x: graphics works with VT-d when running native but doesnt work when running as Dom0 (with or without VT-d).

I am experiencing this problem both with Lenovo T410, and Dell latitude E6410.
Has anybody experienced this problem?

Thanks,
Sanjay

Good to hear it works for you.

What about your radeon laptop?
