    Sony Optiarc eSATA BD writer under Illumos/OpenIndiana

    On my MicroServer build I needed to remove the ODD and replace it with 2x HDDs. This has left me with an issue regarding BD-R writing. The machine is a headless OpenIndana 151a box with 8GB RAM and a spare eSATA port. So I'm thinking about putting the Sony drive in an external eSATA enclosure...

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    Win7 VM tested. Nvidia web driver wizard recognised enough to recommend v290 although once downloaded it didn't install saying there's no Nvidia card available. Manually installing doesn't offer anything either.

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    Sounds sensible, I'll revive a fresh VM with vm-tools and start there.

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    Its a kernel module + binaries IIRC (290.10) so yes it's called at boot. The dmesg output shows it being called, modprobe -r nvidia && modprobe nvidia gives: [ 5151.421934] vgaarb: device changed decodes: PCI:0000:13:00.0,olddecodes=none,decodes=none:owns=none [ 5151.422145] NVRM: loading...

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    My VMs are not running live isos and I've installed XBMCbuntu which still doesn't show anything. Although this is the first time I've attempted to install XBMCbuntu, I've been using nothing but Gentoo Linux and Nvidia cards since 2006 and I'm used to dealing with its setup via package-managers...

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    In my current config there is no output from the card regardless of the state of the machine even during boot AFAIK. Maybe I will have to switch to PCIe + Intel in the BIOS. Should I expect to see the Nvidia card mirror the internal card under normal circumstances during the boot sequence? I...

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    When the card was first installed it was tested but since then the GFX init sequence was changed before VT-d was enabled. So the ESXi yellow management screen is available on the Intel HDMI and the Nvidia HDMI has no output (as wished for) dmesg | pastebin http://pastebin.com/46TFfcXj Ignore...

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    Just the Nvidia and the HDMI audio stub. I'll fire that VM back up in a sec.

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    Hmm, maybe I could swap the Nvidia for an AMD, it will fit a HP Microserver which is a bonus I suppose. So AMD = ATi of old nowadays? My other option is to just buy an Apple TV 2 as I have Plex running just fine on all the other clients.

    ESXi 5 + VT-d + GT520 HDMI issue

    This seems the most appropriate forum to ask this question, hopefully someone will have been here too. I've got a Shuttle SH67H3 + i7 2600 running ESXi 5 and a Zotac GT 520. Everything seems to be working fine, the Passthrough is showing up and recognised in the Gentoo VMs with lsmod. Issue I...

    New T-Ray Waves Research Could Lead to Tricorder Scanners

    If you think in wavelengths and not cycles it's easy to work out. Measuring in millimetres? It's microwaves.
