Is there anyway to run a Windows machine as a virtual machine and have
direct-X display on the host console in full screen mode? If anyone has this
working can you tell me what hardware, drivers, etc you are using? Thank you.
There's a driver other than the default video driver (Cirrus? I think) that is supposed to be quicker for Windows (I can't seem to find the materials I read months ago). In testing I found that this driver wouldn't support higher resolutions, so I abandoned it. I don't run Windows VMs in production, so I've not experimented much with it in KVM.
What I'm reading is that Direct-X support is iffy. [0] [1]
Maybe someone will speak up who has worked with Windows on KVM quite a bit more than I have.
