====== Ubuntu - GPU - GPU pass-through - Configuring the guest ======

Use Virtual Machine Manager or virt-install to install the guest VM.

----

===== Install the graphic card driver =====

Depending on the GPU follow the specific steps for that GPU.

  * Download the driver.
  * Install the downloaded driver.
  * Reboot the guest VM.

See: TODO.

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  Display issues.

  * After you have installed the drivers, the Virtual Machine Manager display will lose its connection to the guest OS.
  * To access the guest VM, either login via ssh, change to the console interface, or install a dedicated VNC server in the guest.
  * To avoid a flickering screen, stop and disable the display manager: <code bash>
sudo systemctl stop display-manager && systemctl disable display-manager
</code>

===== Microsoft Windows guest =====

Hide the hypervisor from the drivers by using the **<hidden state='on'/>** directive in the guest's libvirt definition, for example:

<code>
<features>
 <acpi/>
 <apic/>
 <kvm>
  <hidden state='on'/>
 </kvm>
</features>
</code>
