Hi all! A picture says more than a thousand words:
http://fs5.directupload.net/images/170613/u4d8a59a.png As promised in the last meeting, I have brought to life a machine for testing GPU drivers with real GPUs under ReactOS. It combines a QEMU virtual machine with PCIe GPU Passthrough together with a KVM-over-IP card for feeding the real video signal back to a window. What you see in the screenshot is a real NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GPU attached to a ReactOS VM. We can now test the NVIDIA driver installation while enjoying the easy debuggability of a VM. My first report is already out: https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-13423 Every developer interested in working on this can drop me a line and I will send you credentials for the server. Soon I will also add an AMD Graphics Card along with another KVM-over-IP card to let us debug the other big driver package. Thanks go out to Mr. Kromdijk for the generous server donation, Christoph for the KVM-over-IP card, and Hervé for the QEMU hints! Let's all get some flashy 3D acceleration into ReactOS!! :) Cheers, Colin _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
