Work on ATI HD 3300 on KVM?

[fever_wits]

On the computer it is installed on a PVE Video controller ATI HD 3300 I want to redirect to a virtual machine with Windows XP SP3.

I searched the Internet and found some things, but obviously something wrong or not working, or this idea.
I did the following:

proxmox: ~ # lspci-v | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon HD 3300 Graphics (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Then I added the following lines in the conf file to the virtual machine:

#device_add pci-assign, host = 01:05.0, id = GPU0
#argscidevice host = 01:05.0
hostpci: 01:05.0

But not once.

Has anyone tried this and can you share how you do

Sorry for my bad English.

Hi,
you can only use pci pass trough for devices, which aren't used on the host (no driver loaded for the card).
In your case the graphic card will be used by the host!
Perhaps you have luck, if you have an internal grafic card, which you can use instead (and blacklist the module for your HD3300?).

As far as I understand there must be another VGA so I can use that, right?

if you want to use the console simultaneously you need a second vga card. Otherwise when passing the device through your console would go blank...in theory. As far as i know there was no one successfull of passing vga card through with pve.

i recently tried with 2.2 but the only thing i get is a yelow rectangle in windows device-manager with code 43. either ati 4850 or nvidia gtx660

it looks like xen is the actual no.1 for passing vga through. Ati is more promising. Nvidia needs more manual patching.
vmware is also working but i have not looked into either one, i would like it to work with proxmox... but nobody answered my thread
