Hi,
Nice summary.
3) Virgil will render using the host gpu, using EGL to talk to
a drm render node. For non local displays the rendered contents
will be read back from the gpu and then passed as a pixmap to the
ui to transport over the network
Interesting in this context: What is the status of 3d support for
qxl/spice?
Non existent AFAIK
Is it be possible to transform virgil 3d ops into spice 3d
ops, so you could offload the rendering to spice-client? Does it make
sense to try? Or would the transfer of the data needed to render more
expensive than transferring the rendered screen?
AFAIK, people more knowledgable people then me on 3d (ie Keith Packard)
all seem to agree on that transfering the commands to render would be
more expensive. IOW adding 3d support to Spice would be not really useful.

Hans
