GPU Passthrough and console

[SnakeP]

Hello,

Is there a way to get GUI console working while GPU passthrough is enable on linux machine ? I succeeded to make work the serial0 screen but I get only CLI.
Or maybe I could install a tiny vnc server on VM ?

Thank you for help.

https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough says:

It is not possible to display the frame buffer of the GPU via NoVNC or SPICE on the Proxmox VE web interface.
When passing through a whole GPU or a vGPU and graphic output is wanted, one has to either physically connect a monitor to the card, or configure a remote desktop software (for example, VNC or RDP) inside the guest.

Ok display works on the physical connection to the monitor but how to control through mouse and keyboard ?

I have not tried it, but USB devices can also pass through, so mouse and keyboard should also be able to pass through to the virtual machine.
