Hello, Hello, This page ( https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Dom0 ) has been around for almost ten years and it contains the following phrase: Shortcomings: // among others limitation // - Missing PCI Passthrough support (Xen/FreeBSD). What are these limitations related to? As far as I know, Xen is a type 1 hypervisor and it seems that it should not depend very much on the Dom0 system, which is only a controller/manager. What is the relationship between FreeBSD XEN port and Citrix? It is an *unofficial* port and therefore the chances of using GPU Passthrough with FreeBSD dom0 in the near future are minimal? GPU Passthrough (and PCI devices in general) is a very popular thing in virtualization. It's very hard to say that Xen supports FreeBSD/Dom0, and at the same time basic things are missing for ten years ;-) Thanks!
