ATI 6450 with Windows 8.1 is working, I had to use the latest ATI beta driver.

 

Passthrough is now working, and have HDMI connected right to my 55"Samsung

 

I added a 4 Port Inateck USB 3.0 PCI-E card which I passed through for keyboard/mouse/IR receiver.

 

I am passing through the Optical Audio from the motherboard as well.

 

Windows Media Center is working beautifully.

 

Most of the time it seems to work well, every once in a while I get multi colored graphics across the screen.  It's almost as if someone pulled the cable out and plugged it back in.  Has anyone else seen this?  It's working 99% of the time. 

 

Now that I have this running I can use my older i7-3770 machine as a lab box =)

 

Here is the config:

 

name = 'windows'

builder = 'hvm'

vcpus = '6'

memory = '4096'

device_model_version="qemu-xen-traditional"

disk = [

        'file:/mnt/disk9/BluRay/sattlervm.img,hda,w',

#        'phy:/mnt/cache/domains/Windows/sattlervm.img,hda,w',

#        'phy:/dev/cache/secondexample/example.img,hdb,w',

#        'file:/mnt/cache/domains/Windows/windows.iso,hdc:cdrom,r'

]

vif = [ 'mac=00:16:3E:51:20:4C,bridge=xenbr0,model=e1000' ]

on_poweroff = 'destroy'

on_reboot = 'restart'

on_crash = 'destroy'

boot = 'dc'

acpi = '1'

apic = '1'

viridian = '1'

xen_platform_pci='1'

sdl = '0'

vnc = 0

vnclisten = '0.0.0.0'

vncpasswd = 'army1234'

stdvga = '0'

usb = '1'

usbdevice = '04ca:0027'

#usbdevice = 'tablet'

# ATI Config

pci = ['07:00.0','01:00.0','01:00.1','00:1b.0']

 

I have not! 

I have not! 

 

 

Interesting, the AMD 6450 is apparently more prone to signal noise/crappier cables than the HD4000/HD4700.  Replaced the cable and it's beautiful now.

 

Thanks!
