Hi twood,
I too am trying to configure Radeon HD5450 video card as a VMPD device in Windows 7 guest. I added both the video and audio pci devices and installed the ati device drivers in win7. Both of these devices are active in device manager. But the problem is there is no video output to this card. In Windows 7 video settings, only the vmware vga is displayed as device and the ati video device is not listed. I'm trying to use the same video card as vmpd for this vm that is also the primary for vmware. I get the vmware startup on the display and once I start the vm, the display goes blank and says no signal. The same has been experienced by Haxxfilif as he said in this forum.
My question to you. What guest OS are you running with successful video output on HD5450. Do you use this adapter as both primary for vmware and configured exclusive for a guest OS or do you have more than one video cards? Could you also give me some more information on the hardware its been installed?
I have the HD5450 installed on a Dell PowerEdge T110 server. It sits on the pci-e slot 2 as its the only slot with x16 length that could accept this card. Its got 1GB video ram.
Any and all help will be appreciated.
