Not entirely true.  There was some work done on a virtio GL driver.  I
don't have the references handy, but there was a working Linux Mesa
driver for it.  Any other OS will need it's own driver written.

The web page is (possibly): https://virgil3d.github.io/

But like many many other open source projects the page hasn't
been updated in a long time and the actual status appears in
various random blogs which are utterly meaningless unless
you have followed every step of development :-).

Hence my original mail asking if anyone knew the actual
state of things.

I was just installing a new system for virtualization purposes and I noticed one of the packages that was getting installed was called "virglrenderer". The description is: The virgil3d rendering library is a library used by qemu to implement 3D GPU support for the virtio GPU.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but sounds like it might actually be working assuming the OS has virtio GPU support.
