[vox-tech] Has anyone done an VT-D box running windows and GNU/LInux

[Brian Lavender]

It seems that the video will have to support function level reset (FLR).
I am still figuring out the details. I found USB, nics that support it
on the Intel board, but I have yet to see it for video. I am also not
sure if Windows will handle it.
