I sent the following email a few days back, but did not get any response.

I am still facing the issue. Could some one please tell me about what might be going wrong?

Any pointers about how could I debug this issue?

Thanks,
Dushmanta

Hi,
 
I am facing an issue with enabling my graphics passthrough properly in Xen.

I am using  Xen 4.1.1 and 2.6.32.41 based PVOPS kernel as my Dom0.
Machine: core i5 vPro based Thinkpad T 520 laptop. 
I use Windows 7 and XP as my HVM DomUs.

I have an Intel Integrated Graphics Controller.
I can pass through the graphics device (using boot time passthrough) and the HVM DomUs boot fine and show me the log in screen.

But somehow I  lose my control over input devices (mouse/keyboard). My laptop has a PS/2 keypad and I do not know how to pass that through. So instead, I plugin an external keyboard and mouse to the USB slots that are available and pass them through to DomU.

But those are not accessible when I boot my DomU in the graphics pass through mode. (If I boot without graphics pass-through mode,
then I can pass external keyboard and mouse to the DomUs and they work fine.)

I have not applied any patch to the Xen 4.1.1 that I built from source obtained from xen.org and I am not doing any manual device/memory region mapping. I am not sure if I need any patch for the integrated graphics driver that I use.

Could any one provide me some input about what might be going wrong for me and how I could solve the issue. I am including the lspci output for reference. If some more information is needed from my side, please let me know.

Thanks



For enabling graphics passthrough, I hide and passthrough the devices highlighted.
