VirGL and Windows RDP

[cpzengel]

Hi Guys,

• Further improvements have been added to virtual machines (KVM/QEMU); one to highlight is support for the accelerated virtio-gl (VirGL) display driver. For VirtIO and VirGL display types, SPICE is enabled by default. In modern Linux distributions, changing the graphics card to VirGL can significantly increase frames per second (FPS). For Proxmox containers (LXC), many templates have also been refreshed or newly added, such as the NixOS container template.

So how to get started after installing the mentioned two Packages libgl1 libegl1?

How do I select the PCI GPU while the onboard Adapter of the Server is present?
How will Windows benefit from the VirGL Driver?
Can I accelerate RDP Sessions?

Cheers Chriz

Just had a quick research when this feature was added and it looked like only Linux guests would be supported and there only was an experimental Windows driver and work on that was dropped a long time ago.

But what if we would provide OpenGL to a Windows Guest and the accelerate RDP?
