    Phoronix: Collabora Working On VirGL OpenGL ES Improvements, OpenGL ES For QEMU

    Elie Tournier, the former GSoC student developer who was working on soft FP64 support and then joined Collabora, has shared a status update on the consulting firm's work in the GPU virtualization space...

    I'm actually really excited for this.

      I'm thinking this work is being commissioned by Google to help bring up Virtual GPU support to ARM-based chromebooks that Google intends to support Linux VM apps (Crosvm / Crostini). IIRC, pretty much all the ARM SoCs used in Chromebooks have iGPUs that only support OpenGL ES and not OpenGL and thus support for that is required to be a VM host and offer accelerated graphics to guests.

        I noticed this blog post a few weeks ago. I'm still very anxious to hear any news on the VirGL Windows Driver

        Xaero_Vincent It seems Google is trying to get OpenGL ES to run everywhere https://github.com/google/angle

            Any chance to get something similar from AMD? Either Virgil-like or hw virtualization on consumer GPUs, just give us something please.
            ## VGA ##
            AMD: X1950XTX, HD3870, HD5870
            Intel: GMA45, HD3000 (Core i5 2500K)

              What prevents you from using Virgl on AMD cards?

                The fact that it only works on Intel?

                  Where do you see that? I don't see it on Virgl page. Aren't you confusing it with GT?

                    When I first tried it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nXAv3u5e3g), it didn't work with radeonsi, only with Intel. Did it change?

                    Edit: it seems it did, I just saw a video with a radeonsi host.
