Hello, I have an acer laptop with an i7-6700HQ and a 960M, and it right now is dual booting windows 10 and ubuntu gnome with a custom 4.12 kernel. I want to be able to use Qemu/KVM and virtual machine manager to run windows 10 in a virtual machine and pass through my gpu to it. I know that since my gpu is a mobile one, due to optimus the 960M's output is put into the frame buffer of the iGPU so there is no way to pass through that device as a pci device. But with the 4.12 kernel, there is support of intel cpus to actually passthrough graphics hardware to a virutal machine and it's called GVT-g. I want to know how to set it up properly or if there even is a way to use this technology to pass through a mobile gpu to a virtual machine. I haven't been able to find much help online and i'm not good enough at linux yet to figure it out on my own. Thanks for any help.
