SPICE and virtio-gpu

[blademckain]

It is possibile use spice and virtio-gpu under proxmox ?

the spice documetation say:
"
Using QEMU
You need to add a virtio-gpu device on QEMU command line, as well as enable GL with SPICE. port/tls-port/addr arguments won’t be used in this setup. You need to configure a Unix socket to connect to the VM display.
-device virtio-vga,virgl=on -spice gl=on,unix,addr=/run/user/1000/spice.sock
"

you could use spice with virtio-gpu i guess, but you would have to put those things in the 'args' parameter
but gl acceleration will not work, we do not compile our qemu against it

also spice with gl acceleration (virgl/virglrenderer) only works (afaik) locally over a unix socket not over the network

damn!
another solution for a VM game ( only arcade game like retroarch ) ?

another solution for a VM game ( only arcade game like retroarch ) ?

did you try with plain SPICE + QXL ? it renders with software but has basic gl functions, maybe it is fast enough?

otherwise there is always pci passthrough and streaming

i have tried
not work
seems that the qxl driver doesn't have DRM support

Sorry to bring this back to the living but... was wondering if it is possible to use SPICE with 2 or 3 monitor support along with a vGPU already working on the VM!?
I have the following on the append line:

args: -device 'vfio-pci,sysfsdev=/sys/bus/mdev/devices/e133cc5e-cae8-11ec-8351-9f082ed0f623,display=off,id=hostpci0.0,bus=ich9-pcie-port-1,addr=0x0.0,x-pci-vendor-id=0x10de,x-pci-device-id=0x1bb0' -uuid 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000180

Thanks for any help you might give or pointing me in the right direction.
