Ok, I got that to work. When I tried it the first time I could add only one controller but ran into the problem that the AppVM wouldn't start with an error that the device driver is already in use by xendlight. I didn't get that in the end the pci_strictreset False would be the solution to that problem. The reason was that sys-usb worked with both controllers but the appvm didn't work with just one (after fiddling around, it worked with both). I ran into one wall after another. Now it seems to work.

It is not very beginner friendly imho but maybe I am just spoiled by the Arch- and FreeBSD-documentation. The problem I have that when I google for errors, you might find the mailing list. In the documentation problems are described but typical concrete error messages are not mentioned that occur in those cases, thus throwing error messages into google do not lead to the documentation. > > I.e. is there a place where I could add the stuff I found out so > > far by myself or asking in this mailing list, so it is easier to > > find for others? > > Yes, there's an "Edit This Page" button on every page of the > documentation.

I find the "create a pull request on github"-method just harder than a wiki (that's why I asked about a wiki), where I can easily add pages. I am not really a developer and I rarely create pull requests. I will look into it :) > If you'd prefer just to send out some informal notes, then this > mailing list is the right place to do it (and would also be > appreciated!). Yeah, that's the thing. I am not sure where I put something like: "For getting the teamviewer-client to work, don't use the offered packages but use the tar.gz and start the binary" (in a a bit more detailled way for people who do not know tar-options by heart). The documentation kind of looks that such a thing doesn't fit there and a mailing list is also nothing where short how-tos should be posted because of discoverability. I will learn the ways of this community :) So far you all are very helpful and this is a real delight after my experiences in the Arch-community :) Niels -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
