Can't passthough graphics card.

Featured Replies

I had everything working fine for years then I had an issue which required starting over and now I'm really struggling to get a Windows 10 VM to work. Any help and I'd be greatly appreciative. 

The first time I did this I remember having to do a bunch of stuff manually but my impression is that now all the settings can be done through the VM configuration and I have posted the XML that gets generated below..

The two issues I am having is that

1) The GPU passthrough video but Windows does not recognize that the graphics card is there so I am stuck at 800x600 originally with the Microsoft Generic video option but after updating Windows with the GPU listed but with a warning triangle in Device Manager and still limited to 800*600. It says Windows has stopped this devices because of problems with an error code 43

2) None of the PCI cards show up. I have two USB controllers and a sound card and none of these show up as items I can configure from the GUI.

I had previously stubbed one of the USB controllers and possibly the GFX card but I deleted that line from the config as my understanding is that is no longer how it is done.

I have tried with and without a GPU BIOS -- the GPU BIOS file is downloaded and edited as per the SpaceInvader video on that topic.

You need to bind them to vfio in system devices.

Thank you -- that made the other cards available now I just need to figure out why Windows sees the GPU as not working properly and reverts to the Microsoft Generic video option.

No sure if this will help with your issue.

It is, but the same solution was posted in the post above that one.
