Re: [Xen-users] Re: X11 in PV domU: limited success => SOLVED!

Hi Todd

got it sorted out meanwhile!


> Did you try pci=['0000:00:06.0'] in the domU config?

yes I did but 0000:00:06.0 (lspci on dom0) is the pci
card. The AGP card 01:00.0 (lspci on dom0). To get it
all up and running using nv I do:

in boot.local:
*************
slot=0000:01:00.0
driver=nv
#not really needed if no nv module is loaded
echo -n $slot >  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/$driver/unbind
#these are a must
echo -n $slot >  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/new_slot
echo -n $slot >  /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/bind
#need to verify, if this is really required
echo -n $slot > 
/sys/bus/pci/drivers/pciback/permissive
*************
did it work?
*********
dmesg | grep seiz
pciback 0000:00:06.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:00:07.0: seizing device
pciback 0000:00:07.1: seizing device
pciback 0000:00:07.2: seizing device
pciback 0000:00:07.3: seizing device
pciback 0000:01:00.0: seizing device
*********

yess, so the domU config looks like that:
*********
name = "xlic"
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xenpae"
ramdisk = "/boot/initrd-xenpae"
memory = 512
vif = [ 'mac=aa:cc:00:00:00:01, bridge=xenbr0' ]
disk = [ 'phy:system/xlic,hda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/hda1 rw"
#once successful, change to
#extra = "5"
extra = "3"
# remove xencons=tty to avoid xorg missing VT message
and subsequent death of xorg
#extra = "3 xencons=tty"
# activate for pci GF2 MX
#pci = [
'00:06.0','00:07.0','00:07.1','00:07.2','00:07.3' ]
# activate for AGP GF 6200
pci = [
'01:00.0','00:07.0','00:07.1','00:07.2','00:07.3' ]
*********

check card delegation inside domU:
*********
lspci
00:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation
NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1)
00:01.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1
Controller (rev 03)
00:01.1 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1
Controller (rev 03)
00:01.2 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1
Controller (rev 03)
00:01.3 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 2.0
Controller (rev 01)
*********
USB has mouse and keyboard attached, 
configuring xorg using sax2:
*********
sax2 -rp 
Chip: 0  is -> NVidia GeForce 6200 (0x0221)    
00:00:0 0x10de 0x0221 PCI nv
sax2 -r
SaX: initializing please wait...
SaX: your current configuration will not be read in

SaX: no X-Server is running
SaX: will start own server if needed
SPP: prepare device [0] profile: NoModelines
SPP: including prepared profile(s)...

SaX: startup
*********
Once you have the grafical screen up, it's time to
yodel: you have made it. Then change/adjust your
settings ccordingly, finally
**********
init 5
*********
Thats a full blown success! ok there is no 3D but that
was not the aim so far (now it is!:-])
