YELLOW EXCLAMATION MARK = NVIDIA DRIVER PROBLEM.

So read carefully my mail 

Thanks.

Now stop sending mail without reading the entire content of my mail.

Dear David Techer,

Could you read through my documentation "Xen VGA Passthrough - Version 1.6.pdf" to see if there are any mistakes?

The problem with the device manager yellow exclamation mark for NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS is that I couldn't run 3d graphics benchmarks. I can only run 2d graphics benchmarks.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,

Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)

Here is a quick resume

- I am not able to see your  screenhosts (Error 403 Forbidden) but it doesn't matter

- There is no problem in my documentation. Moreover in http://www.davidgis.fr/blog/index.php?2011/12/07/860-xen-42unstable-patches-for-vga-pass-through in section "Tested domU"

  there is a table where there is a list of advised driver to use for Windows XP 32/64 or Linux 32/64

Then for 

Linux

====

Driver 275.28 or driver 275.43 works very well on my Linux 64 bits (Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.4)

Windows XP

==========

You should be well-advised to install the last NVIDIA drivers for series 275.XX (275.33 or 275.50). It works!

Now If you want to install NVIDIA drivers >= 280 DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR DEVICE MARK WITH A YELLOW MARK.

WINDOWS 8

==========

Two choices

- waiting to have a new NVIDIA driver that support your stuff

- Testing a old driver. I am not going to test any driver for you. I am not going to waste my time testing any old driver.

   Big issue: testing an old driver may imply to reinstall Windows 8 from scratch. Not tested but I am pretty sure about that.

Dear Xen users, developers and David Techer,

I have just downloaded, compiled, and installed Xen 4.2-unstable Changeset 25099 with Xen VGA Passthrough patches. Xen VGA Passthrough to Windows 8 Consumer Preview HVM domU is successful. Or I should say *PARTIALLY* successful. Why? Please see the screenshots below.

David Techer, could you read through my "Xen VGA Passthrough - Version 1.5.pdf" to see if there are any mistakes, which might be causing the above-mentioned error in device manager for NVIDIA Geforce 8400 GS? I could not run 3D graphics benchmarks. I can only run 2D graphics benchmarks.

Thank you very much.

Yours sincerely,
