    • RE: Dual video adapters - what should I see, and where?

      @acebmxer Certainly did - and got it working in my Windows guest...somewhat. When that VM initializes, all four monitors are activated by the graphics card, and I can log into the VM via an XOA-connected laptop. Can set up the monitors too. But...can only get mouse/keyboard focus on the main display (which I suspect is due to the way XOA Console handles things). So now I have to figure out a way to pass the keyboard and mouse through to the VMs.

      The Linux issue I suspect is due to driver signing requirements but at least this part works. There will be two 4-port video cards in the system - one for each VM that's assigned a pass-through device.

    • Dual video adapters - what should I see, and where?

      xcp-ng 8.3 on a Dell R810 w/ Geforce GT730 four port HDMI adapter set up as PCI passthrough. Card has been isolated from Dom0.

      Several VMs - one Win11 Pro; others are various Linux Mint versions.

      Let's start with the Windows VM. I installed the appropriate NVidia drivers and connected up a few monitors to the card. Device Manager shows the driver as initialized and running.

      Initially I accessed the VM from the Xen Orchestra Console and went to Display Settings to check for the presence of multiple displays. Nada - the only one showing was the server's built-in VGA adapter.

      I then pressed "Detect other displays" and locked the VM up. Reboots show a black screen in the Console (hadn't checked the HDMI monitors yet; server is remote).

      What SHOULD I be seeing here - all the displays listed or just the Console's video device?

      I'll touch on the Linux stuff later in thread.
