VMware Prepares Linux Driver For Next-Gen Virtual GPU

[Quackdoc]

I wonder if I can somehow get it working via ovirt....

oVirt uses Libvirt still right? it should work fine then.

Yes.
I assume I need to replace qxl w/ virt-gpu?

yes you most likely want to replace it.

Thanks.
Seems that virt-gpu is not support by ovirt.

Not only is that ancient it also shouldn't matter, try editing the xml directly, just use virsh edit VMNAME, then add the necessary bits to the config file

Meanwhile, Red Hat published a virtio-win package update that provides VIRTIO-GPU support on Windows guests (tested with Fedora as host):

Its important to note that is a DOD only, so you will still be using software rasterization

Didn't think about it. Good idea.
oVirt has a hook (and UI) to support manual configuration of the VM (I actually use it on the desktop I write this on, to pass-through nVidia 1650TI to a Linux VM without having the driver detect its running as guest).
