I am currently on Unraid 6.9 (stable) and attempting to get my shiny new AMD 6900XT working with Windows 10. What happens is that I am able to pass my device through to the Win10 guest VM successfully. However, the issue is that when the drivers load my card’s display goes black. If the driver’s are not loaded, I do have working output from the graphics card.
I have done a bit of research and it seems to be a known issue and the trick is to use code 43 trick by adding the following:
<features>
<acpi/>
<apic/>
<hyperv>
<relaxed state='on'/>
<vapic state='on'/>
<spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/>
<vendor_id state='on' value='1234567890ab'/>
</hyperv>
<kvm>
<hidden state='on'/>
</kvm>
<vmport state='off'/>
<ioapic driver='kvm'/>
</features>
When I added the necessary lines to my libvirt XML config in Unraid, I still have the above issue. My display goes black the moment the AMD drivers load.
I am at my wit’s end with this and would greatly appreciate any help with this.
