Will look into it further in the future when I have the time available. As per above, VLC is a make or break for me - but others (eg: gamers) would benefit from detaching GPU from Dom0 and attaching GPU to their games domain qube, if it meant that OpenGL could then be available to the attached qube -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Re: [qubes-users] GPU is deal-breaker
My laptop specs (if it helps): https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c03146718 My situation: Don't have funds to get a new computer (for hardware compliance or multiple GPUs) or mobile phone (for Skype), and can't use an alternative to Skype (not my choice and beyond my control). Screen-shooting rather than screen-sharing for Skype seems reasonable, as Skype shouldn't be on Dom0. I think that would solve my issues with Skype (I'd have to reinstall Qubes+Skype and check it out)- but I am still stuck with VLC video glitching up, even if the audio keeps playing well.

[qubes-users] GPU is deal-breaker
Hi! *** TL;DR: Would the option to attach the GPU to a single qube be feasible? *** Recently tried out Q3.2 and Q4.0-rc1. Pretty happy with most of it, and have some ideas on what might make it better (if those ideas are plausible) - but the GPU seems to be the deal breaker. On LinuxMint, I like using VLC video player to watch lectures, using it's option to speed up without altering pitch. On both versions of Q, video on VLC behaved badly (often freezing up). Audio was good, so can only think it is GPU issue I also use Skype a fair bit on LinuxMint, and find the "share screen" mode useful to show stuff. Video on Skype also performed badly on on both versions of Q, and "share screen" wouldn't work at all. Again, I can only think this is GPU While I've read that OpenGL doesn't work on Q (obviously important for gamers using Q), I don't know the status for OpenCL - but programming OpenCL using GPU is also another use for me (for scientific computing stuff), which I'm guessing Q will also have an issue with >From what I've read, it seems that Dom0 has the GPU, and won't share with >others because it could create a security issue (my guesses: from sharing >memory, or sharing processes, or both). My suggestion (if feasible) is for >Dom0 not to use GPU (CPU only should make sense, as Dom0 should be as >light-weight as possible), and have GPU as a device that can is deployable to >any 1 qube the same way as you can for other devices (such as microphone) - if >GPU assignment feasibly works without security issues. Reading that some >successful experiments have been done for "GPU passthrough" sounds like >assignment of GPU to a qube may be feasible (Am I right??) Love the Qubes concept. Hoping the GPU issue can be sorted, opening up the OS for a wider user base. Cheers! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
