I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure I have heard about Virgil 3D before, but I
have never looked closer at it.

I agree that accelerated graphics would be the logical next step once
the basics work, and something like this would provide more isolation
than GPU pass-through. Of course, for my test case of live ISO images,
it would be nicer to emulate a well-known graphics card rather than
introducing bhyve-specific drivers.

In any case, I'm new on the list, so maybe someone else knows more about
this.
