    7970 multimonitor issue

    I guess I'll write Sapphire about this, I've tried Catalyst 12.6 and 12.8.

    7970 multimonitor issue

    Win7 64, these are all straight cables, DP cables are mDP on the card end full DP on the monitor.

    7970 multimonitor issue

    So the card has 2 mDP, 1 HDMI and 1 DVI port; if I plug in both mDP and the HDMI ports only two of the monitors are getting signal - one of mDP and the HDMI, if I unplug HDMI the other mDP wakes up. Is this normal, I can't google anything useful up on the matter. The card is a Sapphire 7970...

    Compact, silent and powerful home lab. Possible?

    Huh? You can't do nested virtualization. As in one inside the other. I'm running Xen with passthrough on an mATX chassis with 5 HDDs, all my PCI slots are filled so I'd personally recommend going at least mATX as you'll outgrow the supertiny chassis quickly but maybe that's just me.

    [H]elp Needed! (Core i7-3820 and MSI X79A-GD45)

    I've done this on an H61 ASUS mobo with a failed flash procedure, maybe this method would've worked too (this board does not have USB flashback): Formatted a USB flash drive FAT32 and placed the correctly named BIOS file at root. Plug in the flash drive and turn on the computer. Wait for a...

    Multiple OS portability

    Fresh kernels support NTFS - why bother with FAT. If I was doing this I'd install Linux on entire USB drive on an encrypted LVM partition and then use VirtualBox for XP. Mount shared folders in VirtualBox for shared storage. Do you actually get XP to play nice plugging it into some other...

    Looking for 2 to 1 VESA adapter

    Do these things exist? If they do what are they called because my google-fu is failing me. Exactly what I'm looking for is a VESA mount plate that I could attach to my wallmount. To this mount there would be a bar attached and the bar has a VESA mount at each end that I could hang monitors...

    Mini-ITX Board that supports IOMMU

    Last I looked there wasn't even an mATX board supporting passthrough from AMD, quick look at newegg confirms. With AMD you want 890FX or any 9 series chipset. With Intel Q67 boards are officially supported and there are options from actual Intel in mITX form. Unofficially some board makers with...

    VT-D/VGA Passthrough?

    Whether it's the host or another guest it doesn't matter much. The most seamless integration at this point is to use windows and X forward any application you want to run in linux. Your linux machine will be running off the emulated video. And then you arrive at the inevitable conclusion that...

    VT-D/VGA Passthrough?

    What do you mean by "switching" the GPU? You have to treat the host and guests as completely different machines, they really don't know about each other's existence. The tools available for communication between one another are the same as available between two discreet hardware machines. These...

    VT-D/VGA Passthrough?

    I had to blacklist the original driver to get pciback to claim the device. libvirt works because it actually unbinds the original driver before you start the machine, it's not so different than what the guy did earlier in the thread - it's in his script in one of the pictures. Video was...

    My first ESXi Whitebox - hardware purchased!

    I assume you're planning on plugging that RAID card in the x16 slot, but if you are going to mod the x4 slot, please share experiences with pics! Because I'm kind of thinking of doing that. Why do they ever close that end I'll never know. I saw something about MythTV and what not; don't...

    KVM Management Tools

    Since noone has mentioned it yet, RedHat wants you to buy their Enterprise Virtualization. Pictures look pretty, but I haven't used any of it myself.

    AMD Sapphire Pure Black 990FX - Enabling IOMMU

    Try these kernel boot options: "iommu=pt iommu=1" or just "iommu=1"; then you're looking for "AMD-Vi" in dmesg. No idea about ESXi.
