I have VFIO passthrough working with a Windows 10 VM, running on Fedora 25. Currently I have two cables running to my single monitor (one HDMI and one DVI), so switching back and forth means toggling a monitor setting. This does work, but is a bit clunky.
BTW the mouse and keyboard also switch back and forth (this slightly surprised me but I'm not going to question it :-) I thought I could make this simpler by exchanging the DVI cable for another HDMI cable, both cables going into an HDMI switch and hence to the HDMI port on the monitor, with the idea of toggling back and forth. However this doesn't entirely work. I suspect that the switch powers off the input it's not using and this confuses Windows. Most of the discussion I've seen recommends Synergy, a software KB/mouse switcher, however this explicitly does not support video switching, i.e. it assumes you have a separate monitor for each machine (real or virtual), which is not the case here. The other option seems to be a physical KVM switch, but before shelling out more money I'd like to hear people's thoughts on this. What do you do to support a single monitor? poc _______________________________________________ vfio-users mailing list vfio-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/vfio-users
