Hello.
I've been tesing VGA passthrough using libvirt.
However, My *Windows7*(64bit) Virtual Machine stopped at loading screen as
soon as I installed graphic driver(*AMD Radeon HD 7750*) and then restarted
the VM.
How Can I use VGA passthrough technology in my *Windows7* VM?
I attached my testing information(HW, system environment and settings, qemu
log and so on..)
Best Regards.
