Thanks for your help. Yeah, I wouldn't get a 1080 just for this purpose, that's just what I already have in my desktop, but I've been unable to get it to work with Qubes at all. I have tried both the proprietary driver and nouveau on the default kernel, and the newest kernels in both unstable and current-testing, but no luck. From the threads I've seen, it sounds like nobody has managed to get it to work at all- not just passthrough, it won't load X at all. My intent with this thread isn't to troubleshoot those issues. Unless somebody actually has gotten it working, I'm ready to give up on that one. So, I'm thinking about buying a second, cheap, card that works with Qubes that can support 4k resolutions. I was thinking about getting a card like the rx550, but the Qubes documentation says that it does not support the 550 because AMD GPU wasn't supported until after kernel 4.4. If I went with a 550, are you thinking I would update to the current-testing kernel and that would get it working? Are you pretty confident in that? If not, maybe I'll go with the 7750 or similar, since you know for sure that that works. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
