Hi everyone,Thanks for the info. It's great to hear that things are progressing. In the meantime, I've started working with Virtio GPU in its current state on QEMU's master branch. I think I've managed to find a workaround for the direct VRAM access.
BTW, is there any official documentation for VirGL, Venus, etc.? Or is that yet to be written?

Looking at the master QEMU branch, both Virgl and blob resources are supported, but NOT at the same time. Is the ability to use both simultaneously coming soon?Mmh, well, they should be compatible, I'll try sending a patch.Also, what's the state of Venus/Vulkan support? Surveying various forks/branches, it looks very experimental and subject to change.I believe this is quite stable now: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/virgl/venus-protocol/-/issues/5The last patch series for QEMU is from Huang Rui: https://patchew.org/QEMU/[email protected]/I am working on V6, and will send them out very soon. Thanks, RayVirglrenderer 1.0.0 has been released as well. I wonder if that requires any change in QEMU. Gert or Dmitry might know the answer.No changes required afaik.I have the added difficulty that the AmigaOS Picasso96 driver API expects direct CPU access to all of VRAM, and likes to peek/poke directly into the bitmaps. That's clearly not possible without blob resources, or shared memory (not entirely sure what the shared memory feature is for). This is why I want to know what features are stable or coming soon.The shared memory feature is just a requirement which enables support for blob resources.Now that we are in freeze, we won't merge new features until the end of this year / next year. But we can already plan / test / review etc. Antonio, do you have your work coordinated with Huang? Huang, are you going to send a new version of the venus series? It would be great to include docs/system/devices/virtio-gpu.rst updates too. It's getting difficult to follow the various ways virtio-gpu can be used nowadays. thanks -- Marc-André Lureau
