Feature request: Would it be possible to implement VMGL (formerly Xen-GL) into MESA to enable OpenGL Hardware 3D Acceleration for Virtual Machines? http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~andreslc/xen-gl/ OpenGL apps running inside a Virtual Machine (VM) can use VMGL to take advantage of graphics hardware acceleration. VMGL can be used on VMware guests, Xen HVM domains (depending on hardware virtualization extensions) and Xen paravirtual domains, using XVnc or the virtual framebuffer. Although we haven't tested it, VMGL should work for qemu, KVM, etc. VMGL is available for X11-based guest OS's: Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris. Finally, VMGL is GPU-independent: we support ATI, Nvidia and Intel GPUs. Would be great if MESA featured this function nativly. Currently licensed under the Modified BSD licence but I sure they would consider re-licence or dual-licence if the MESA project requires it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Gamester17 (gamester17) Date: 2008-12-18 06:36 Message: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjkzOA VirtualBox Gets OpenGL Acceleration Support Sun Microsystems has announced the release this morning of VirtualBox 2.1 with several enticing additions. The hardware-accelerated OpenGL support is deemed experimental in VirtualBox 2.1. OpenGL support is only exposed to Windows XP and Windows Vista 32-bit guests at this time, but support for other platforms is expected in the future. Additionally, Sun Microsystems also has plans for supporting DirectX acceleration of guest operating systems in a future release. All the guest OS needs to do is install an OpenGL driver for what is recognized as a virtual hardware device that in turn communicates with the host's GPU. The complete change-log for VirtualBox 2.1 (along with download links) can be found at VirtualBox.org http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350003&aid=1865886&group_id=3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
