Hello guys,
I have a problem when using my MSI R9 380 4G graphic card as GPU
passthrough with KVM.
At the first linux boot (Fedora 23) I am able to successfully start virtual
machine and it works!
However if i will shut down virtual machine and start it again - the screen
will stay blank!
So far I have been able to find on the internet that some graphic cards
just can not reinitialize itself when there is no power off/on, which could
be the case of mine as well.
Also I am very much surprised that this graphic card has no UEFI rom!
Any help would be appreciated
