Re: [libvirt-users] [iGVT-g] GVT-g - suboptimal user experience
Hello.
All features are about usability and simple user experience.
1. Its about local display / dmabuf feature. Currently user needs to use virt-viewer tool.
But virt-manager already incorporates graphical console. It would be nice if it could
support accelerated gvt-g local display. Preferably with minimum performance overhead.
Also virt-manager should allow to use mdev videocard alone, without requiring to use
additional primary virtual adapter like QXL or Cirrus
2. Currently with gvt solution there few mdev devices each with fixed resolution. User
should be able to configure own resolutions for devices at host without additional
manipulations in guest. Ideally, resolution should be dynamic and change appropriately on
resize of virt-manager window
3. This is about windows guest and VM configured with UEFI (OVMF) instead of BIOS. I head
its about dropping OpRegion dependency in Windows guest driver to support that
configuration
Thank you.

Could you elaborate a bit more about the first two features? On UEFI
VMs support (Windows guest), do you mean enabling Windows VM display on UEFI? Thanks.
