I’ve actually hoped that i could do this trick on my laptop. It’s a Dell 9570, so i have both a dedicated and a integrated GPU. My daily drivers is the integrated Intel, so my wish was to use the 1050 Ti for Looking Glass.
After multiple hours in Linux Mint, i’m almost giving up. I tried to type down every step, so that i can post it here, if i make it till the very end, but at the moment, i find it very hard.
Here is a few details about what is under control:
-
Virt-manager is installed, including a lot of different packages
-
iOOMU is under control (guess so?) and
10de:1c8cis now shared:
softdep nvidia pre: vfio vfio_pci
vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_virqfd
options vfio_pci ids=10de:1c8c
vfio_pci ids=10de:1c8c
vfio_pci
nvidia
It’s also listed correctly with lspci -nnv |less:

Windows 10 is installed in a VM, and the gfx PCI is added. I’ve keeped the default video output to debug and install windows the first time.
-
<kvm><hidden state='on'/></kvm>is added after</hyperv>(withvirsh edit <nameofvm>), and a few other things, mentioned here -
In Device Manager i’m able to find a few devices
Currenly my main problem/question is:
-
Nvidia Driver can’t be installed. Is failing. I saw a post here about patching the drivers. But is that actually my problem?
-
Will i be able to use Looking Glass for my Dell XPS 9570, or have i just waisted a damn long amount of time :-)?
