- We also talked about how to pass through NVidia graphics cards into VMs, so you can get better rendering performance, and all the issues, tradeoffs and outright problems of doing this.
I'm interested in hearing more about this. I recently gave this a try (I want to use a VM as my work desktop), and it took quite a lot of research and trial and error in order to come up with a working configuration. I setup the system boot off of integrated AMD graphics and automatically start a VM on the nvidia adapter. I pass through the keyboard and mouse via evdev (without evdev, the mouse is practically unusable). This works ok, so long as I don't want to use the host system(!). I'm using the nouveau driver, and that also has issues if I switch inputs on my monitor (as in, my graphical display will cease to exist). How do others set this up? Does anyone have a configuration they are happy with? -Jeff
