Hi,

I've searched to no avail: is it possible to use video virtio (instead of qxl) in a VM managed by oVirt? I have much better performance with video virtio when testing this with "plain" libvirt.

I would have at least expected to find some feature request or something alike when searching. Does anybody know anything about this being on some ToDo list? Or has this really escaped everybody's notice?

Do you mean virtio-vga / virtio-gpu?

It seems it only supports Linux guests with kernel >= 4.4 and mesa >= 11.2 and also compiled with option gallium-drivers=virgl

So probably many guests would be left out...

Anyway it could be an interesting option for newer guests, if you say that you get better performances and if it is stable enough...
