Built-in VNC and black screen #46

Hi.

OS: CentOS 8.3 + KVM

If I create a guest (Windows 10 Pro), then by default I can connect to him via VNC. But as soon as I add vGPU

<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='mdev' managed='no' model='vfio-pci'>
  <source>
    <address uuid='30820a6f-b1a5-4503-91ca-0c10ba58692a'/>
  </source>
</hostdev>

, then when I connect through VNC, I see only a black screen.

Why is this happening?

Nvidia vGPU documentation has some details on enabling the built-in VNC server.

Intel GVT-G uses MDEVs as well, and there is some documentation on getting the display output of the MDEV on the internal QEMU display, whether you chose VNC or SPICE.

I have not tested this myself, but maybe this will help: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/virtualization_deployment_and_administration_guide/sect-device-GPU#sect-device-GPU-vGPU-VNC-console

It is for RHEL, but I think it should be relevant for CentOS as well.

Also, you will have to have the NVIDIA grid drivers installed in the guest before the VNC console will work.

I'm closing this since the question was answered.
