Question

I'm happily using Dockur with Win 11 for a year. It's working smoothly, installation was seamless. Thank you for that!

But I'm struggling with Windows XP when it comes to the Virtio GPU drivers.
I don't have a dedicated GPU. I am using a I5 8500T with iGPU. This seems to work well on Win 11. In the device manager I see a "DOD" graphics card device.

In Win XP, I see a question mark and some otheres for PCI devices.
I read I need to make use of older Virtio drivers (1.0.137), which I pulled and I mounted the ISO - but wasn't able to find a suitable driver on the CD.

I am not sure what I'm supposed to do now. I understand graphic acceleration won't happen with an iGPU, but Win11 does run quite a bit smoother than XP actually using RDP and KVM. This is my YAML:

services:
windows:
image: dockurr/windows
container_name: windows-xp
privileged: true
environment:
DISK_SIZE: "20G"
RAM_SIZE: "1024M"
CPU_CORES: "2"
LANGUAGE: "German"
REGION: de-DE
KEYBOARD: de-DE
GPU: "Y"
devices:
- /dev/dri
- /dev/kvm
- /dev/net/tun
cap_add:
- NET_ADMIN
ports:
- 8007:8006
- 3390:3389/tcp
- 3390:3389/udp
volumes:
- /docker-data/windowsXP:/storage
- /docker-data/windowsXP/dexpsp3.iso:/boot.iso
- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-47a10669-3470-4af9-a335-f9298ae08d02/raid-share:/storage2
- /nvme-share:/storage3
stop_grace_period: 2m
restart: no

Also storage2 and storage3 won't mount, what actually does work with the same configuration in Win11.
I'm pretty sure I made a mistake somewhere. I admit, I don't really know what I'm doing here, but trying my very best.
