Hi,
I looked at "lspci" of a guest that has virtio-gpu directly connected to pci-root, and found that it does show up as a legacy device in that case, which I guess is what we want, right?
Let's ask the author of virtio-gpu: Gerd, what is your opinion - when using virtio-gpu as the primary video device, is it better to have it directly plugged into 00:01.0 (i.e. a legacy integrated device)? Or is it better to plug it into a pcie-root-port?
virtio-vga or virtio-gpu-pci? virtio-gpu-pci should have zero issues in a pcie-root-port. For virtio-vga I'd tend to place it directly in 00:01.0, to avoid ioport access issues for the vga compatibility part of the device. cheers, Gerd
