Re: [Xen-devel] [Xen-users] VGA passthough still not working

["Likarpenkov Alexander" <al@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I propose to begin drafting a joint manual. Training system for forwarding 
to be divided into two stages:
- Set the system up to the moment when the device can not be forwarding (xm 
pci-list-assignable-devices is empty)
- Set up DomU vga_passthru = 1 after xm pci-list-assignable-devices gives a 
list of devices
Example:
# Xm pci-list-assignable-devices
0000:03:00.0
0000:00:14.0
0000:00:14.5
