I'm having problems with Linux Mint VM, that has a GPU passthru, when i switch to the official/recommended nvidia-driver-550. After restarting the VM, the screen is black. Only way to get it back to work is if I login with NoMachine and switch the drivers back to nouveau.
Some relevant info:
- The GPU is a NVidia GTX 1050TI.
- I have three 2K monitors (2560x1440) and the desktop environment seems kind of slow/sluggish/lagging on the nouveau drivers. I'd also like to try gaming on linux, to slowly transition away from Windows completely.
- Windows VM with GPU passthru works fine.
- I tried the solution in this thread https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/linux-mint-graphics-pass-through-screen-is-black.150691/ (Hardware -> Video is set to "none").
- and the instructions from the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE0ew8WwxLM - the grub and all the blacklists are defined.
- tried other versions of nvidia-driver (version 535, version 470).
VM hardware:
BIOS: OVMF (UEFI)
Display: none (none)
PCI Device (hostpci0): 0000:b3:00 x-vga=1 (all functions enabled)
Output from "lspci -k" in the guest:
06:10.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)
Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti]
Kernel modules: nvidiafb, nouveau, nvidia_drm, nvidia
06:10.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL High Definition Audio Controller
Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel
Any ideas?
Maybe I should try my luck with a Radeon GPU?
