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 have is there's no video output no matter what I do.
When I switch over to the Nvidia-drivers package I lose the console in vSphere and there is no output still. I've ensured that the BIOS boots with just the onboard Intel 2000 and I've verified that there's a working output on boot from the Nvidia card.
Having never done this it feels like I'm missing something basic. The idea is I wan't to run XBMC as a dedicated VM, currently its used as a Plex Media Server for 5 iOS devices, PMS for two PS3's and a sandbox for tinkering.
So had anyone done XBMC via VT-d with a GT520?
