Later when I tried VirtualBox I found VB video driver has such 3D acceleration
abilities, but I just don't like VB style slow performance;

Then are there some plans / possibilities to add more virtual graphics hardware
drivers for qemu kvm ? Any specification to follow? Pointers for me to explore
this way?
