Connecting PCI – e graphics card on a Linux system to virtualbox

Hi,

KVM has an auto detector of PC hardware configuration. So you can easily install PCI – e graphics card on a Linux system. When you install KVM it will auto detect PCI – e graphics card in your system. And when you install OS in virtual machine it will install the driver module in OS for PCI – e graphics card on a Linux system.

Another option is to do it manually. You can download a virtual box like sun VirtualBox Linux version that has built in PCI support. Or you can install an extra module to support PCI – e graphics card on a Linux system.
