Hi
First of all thx for David and the xen team.
My configuration is
MB: asrock Z68 extreme 4 gen 3
CPU: intel i7 2600
Memory: 8 gb
GFX1: nvidia 285 gtx (connected to monitor 1)
GFX2: built in intel 2000 on cpu (connected to monitor 2)
First I installed Ubuntu 11.10 x64, after that installed kernel 3.1.0 with
the ubuntu configuration as start and making the needed changes for xen.
Then I installed xen-unstable the way David has explained (extracting the
gfx firmware, patching, modifying dsdt.asl).
I also added the xen-pciback.hide=(01:00.0) kernel param.
Here is the dmesg part related to vga:

and here is the dmesg for the intel gfx

In bios i setup pci express as startup device, so when ubuntu begins to load
first I see the loading on the monitor 1 connected to nvidia and when the
card is assigned to pciback then it automaticaly switches to the intel 2000
built in gfx on monitor 2.
First I had problem with executin /etc/init.d/xencomons start was getting
the following error
usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm: error while loading shared libraries:
libxenctrl.so.4.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I solved it by adding /usr/lib64 to /etc/ld.so.conf and executing ldconfig
Then I had problem with executing /etc/init.d/xend start, was getting the
following error
RTNETLINK answers: File exists
xend would start but without networking, solved this by defining the xenbr0
interface in /etc/network/interfaces
So finally everything was working:
root@anubisxen:/usr/src# xm pci-list-assignable-devices
0000:01:00.0
First I tryed to install windows 7 x64 professional, that worked but after I
installed the latest nvidia 285.62 driver I got a BSOD.
Then I tryed to install windows xp (sp3) x86, installed the same driver and
also didn't work.
So after read David blog, I downloaded the 275.33 driver for xp and for my
suprise it was working.
I did the same for win7, and win7 also worked with the 275.33 driver.
I need to do some more testing, unfortunatly I created to small disk for
win7 so I run out of space, but will try it with a bigger disk and with some
benchmarks.
I tryed 3dmark 6 on winxp and it was running fine.
Will post more when I reinstall win7 with a bigger virtual disk, will
compare benchmarks from a virt machine and a real machine.
sorry for my poor english
