Hi, With the patch applied, I did a FLR on the card as follows: echo -n "0000:00:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/do_flr The screen turned blank upon issuing the command. I was able to boot up DomU. Shutting down DomU returns the screen to blank. Is this the expected observation? Thanks. - Beng Heng Jean Guyader wrote: > We have a patch to the FLR support to pciback. > http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb?p=xenclient/linux-2.6.27-pq.git;a=blob_plain;f=master/pciback-flr;hb=HEAD > > Jean > > 2009/6/6 Beng Heng, Ng <bengheng@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: >> Apologies, I missed your earlier point about the FLR.
