Dear David Techer,

I have just found out that the QEMU monitor command is usb_add host:vendor-id:product-id and not usb-add host:vendor:product. It is underscore and not hyphen.

From the details you have provided, you are basically trying to PCI passthrough the USB Root Hub, not USB mass controller or USB controller. Then you can simply plug in your USB Keyboard and USB Mouse. My method using usb_add in the QEMU monitor is more tedious as I need another computer with a network connection to vnc into the VNC server on dom0 and execute the usb_add commands in the QEMU monitor.

I have just updated my Xen VGA Passthrough documentation.

Please read my attached file "Xen VGA Passthrough - Version 1.2.pdf". My Xen VGA Passthrough documentation is now Version 1.2.

By the way, I do not need to install NVIDIA drivers in Windows 8 HVM domU. The NVIDIA driver is automatically loaded, but there is a yellow exclamation mark beside my NVIDIA Geforce 8400GS. Device Manager in Windows 8 HVM domU says that the graphics card has been stopped by Windows because it has a problem and the graphics card is not using any resources because it has a problem.

However, the display in Windows 8 HVM domU is just fine and the screen resolution is also OK. I am able to use Windows 8 HVM domU with Xen VGA Passthrough to surf the internet using Internet Explorer. I can also explore Device Manager and Control Panel. Windows 8 HVM domU with Xen VGA Passthrough is slightly sluggish but Windows 8 HVM domU does not freeze.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

Yours sincerely,

I don't use usb-add.

Try

lspci

??:??.? USB Mass Controler

get the required ID for your "USB Mass Crontroler" or 'USB Controler" or something like that (don't remember..I am at work for the moment. Hope my boss don't know I try to help you)

Then adding this id as you did for did for your graphic card.

in the module line for grub

xen-pciback.hide=(??:??:?)

and in the domU configuration file

pci = [ '01:00.0','??:??.?']

Then plug your USB Keyboard and your USB Mouse in the USB Controler

Dear David Techer,

I did my Xen VGA Passthrough 3 years ago around the time of Xen 3.5-unstable when Intel Corp engineer Han Weidong released the Xen VGA Passthrough patches. Now, I want to passthrough my USB Keyboard and USB Mouse to my Windows 8 HVM domU with Xen VGA Passthrough.

I know I need to passthrough my USB Keyboard and USB Mouse to Windows HVM on the QEMU console. You need to either press CTRL+ALT+1 or CTRL+ALT+2 on the VNC Viewer for the QEMU console.

I think the USB-ADD command is usb-add host:vendor:device on the QEMU console but I have forgotten the exact command for usb-add on the QEMU console. Could you refresh me on the usb-add command or point me to some documentation?

When I have passthrough my USB keyboard and USB mouse to Windows 8 HVM domU, then I can start to use Windows 8 HVM domU with Xen VGA Passthrough.

Are the QEMU commands "usb-add host:0603:00f2" and "usb-add host:15d9:0a41"?

I am thinking the above QEMU usb-add commands are correct.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

And now install NVIDIA drivers and let me know if it is a real success

Reboot your domU, when logged open your Device manager, use the scroll-bar OR open Internet Explorer, use the the scrollbar.

Let me know if you don't have any freeze.

David.
