[vfio-users] Passing through an intregrated Nvidia mobile GPU (NVIDIA Quadro M1000M)

[Thomas Arouge]

So I got my new laptop (Dell Percision 5510) and found out that this
machine is able to do PCI passthrough when I took a look at the bios.

First off, here are the specs of my Laptop:
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70Ghz
Integrated GPU: Intel® HD Graphics 530 (This is used on the Linux Desktop)
Discrete GPU: NVIDIA Quadro M1000M (This is what I want to use on the VM)
Motherboard: Dell 0N8J4R (I do know that this motherboard support I/O
passthrough since it shows the option on the bios).
Ram: 8gb (I plan to upgrade to 32gb)
OS: Arch Linux/Stock Kernel

Here is the config on the Virtual Machine:

[image: Inline image 2]
[image: Inline image 3]
(Also I actally use the spice server and virtual gpu to access the Windows
Virtual Machine since I have no idea as to how I can directly connect the
display to the GPU. I just happened to remove those two since I was try
something)

Hypervisor Details:
Hyervisor: KVM
Architecture: x86_64
Emulator: /usr/sbin/qemu-system-x86_64
Chipset: i440FX

For frimware, I downloaded the OVMF from http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf/. I
tried using the Git version from kraxel's website,
https://www.kraxel.org/repos/jenkins/edk2/, but it would be stuck in the
boot screen.

I didn't really follow one guide, I looked at multiple guides online and I
was able to do most of the requirements. So now I am up to the point where
I am able to load the GPU and already have Windows installed. But when I
try to install the Nvidia drivers, it could not detect the GPU driver. The
weird thing is that the Offical Driver Finder Tool on Nvidia's website was
able to detect the GPU that I was passing through.


I hope you can help me!

P.S. I never really used a mailing list before so I apologize if I mess
something up! Also if I am missing anything, please tell me!
