KVM: Giving video hardware to guest os

[blaster32]

Hi,

I'd like to have one of my guest os direct access to my video cards tv out.
I belive the guest vm would need exclusive access to the video hardware but I can't find any documentation on that. Is it even possible to achive this?

Thanks,
blaster

KVM-79 includes support for PCI pass-thru and hot-plugging.

More info here for more details and the command format:

I haven't tried it as yet, but I understand that the VM host cannot have a driver loaded for the relevant PCI card. Hence the driver must only be in loaded on the VM guest.

Let us know how you get on.
