Troubleshooting

1. My monitor switches to a black screen when the VM starts

Likely, the DDC/CI automation is working correctly, but the Guest OS hasn't yet initialized the display driver. VxM sends VCP code 0x60 (Input Source) to your monitor immediately upon VM launch. Give the Guest OS a moment to boot.

2. I get an "IOMMU Group" error

This issue happens because the secondary GPU is not isolated. It may share an IOMMU group with other devices (like a USB controller or a network card). You cannot pass through the GPU without passing through everything in that group. You may need to change PCIe slots.

3. Session crashed after the VM stopped

This problem occurs on NVIDIA hardware because the NVIDIA driver handles rebinding differently. It's known behaviour in this case.
