Some more experimentation with GTX980: - Tried Core2Duo CPUID from KVM VM - Ported NoSnoop patch from KVM Sadly, neither of these would help with BSODs / Code 43 errors. I posted the results (with patches and more detailed information) on Xen-devel

I've continued experimenting with GTX 980 passthrough with Arch Linux. I noticed that the xf86-video-nouveau does NOT in fact have Maxwell support. One would think otherwise looking at their Feature Matrix here: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/ NV110 is the Maxwell family

Update on the matter of sluggishness of Win 7 on Xen 4.6.1: Disabling MSI translation by setting "pci_msitranslate = 0" in VM config file resolves this. So both Win 7 and 8.1 seem to work fine on newers Qubes OS, and no need thus to mess with Xen 4.3 :) -- You received this message because

Hello everyone! What would be the steps for installing and trying out different Xen versions in Qubes 3.1? Or even switching to KVM? Shouldn't HAL make this possible on Qubes 3.0+ ? I'm mainly interested in testing Xen 4.3 branch, since there's anecdotal evidence that something might have
