would get passed-through to that VM, and so any driver installed there (and
presumably more likely to work than in dom0) would also have access to all the
external displays hard-wired to that GPU. Right?
Yup! You can even assign the nvidia card to the VM while leaving the
iGPU in dom0. If you do that, you will want to set your qrexec policies
to ensure that sys-gui-gpu can’t harm VMs it isn’t the GUIVM of. That
basically means removing lots of Admin API access from it that it
doesn’t need.
That's something I will try next then, and report back. Thank you for the
suggestion!
You’re welcome!
