Use AMD APU in KVM

[firewood0188]

Hi,

I have a AMD FX 8800 CPU which include 8 APUs. Everything is running smooth in Proxmox, except Jellyfin in Unbutu VM.
I wanna use APUs for Hardware trancoding function in the VM.
Here is the vainfo output from the host:


I try to add pci to the VM. But the VM cannot start up. Can anyone help how to do it?

The setup needs to run in headless mode to even try to pass through the APU. But in the first screenshot the first line says that it couldn't connect to X. It might not be pass through issue.

It means APU inside CPU cannot be pass through. Is it true?

That's not what I said. The server needs to run headless (no graphic output), otherwise the GPU is already in use.
