I have been listening for a while and one idea came up in my
mind:
Would it be possible (at a later stage of devellopment)
to add some routines to the spechial drivers and the display code on the
real computer, so that direct3d-, glide-, mesa-,etc.-calls may be
translated and handed over to the mesa or X-DRI on the real computer.
That would allow to run 3d-games and -applications on the simulated
computer. The Speed would suffer a bit from the translation but it would
be much better than software only 3d on the vm...
