Nouveau VS Virgil 3D GPU project

The chances of getting Nouveau working well on older Nvidia hardware are essentially zero. There are legal issues with firmware redistribution. > Little hope of reclocking becoming available for GM20x, GP10x and GV100 as firmware now needs to be signed by NVIDIA to have the necessary access From https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

I have just finished switching from normal VGA to VESA for my OS MaxOS. And although this will be far away in the future, I do hope to not only have a 1080p display but also working on the hardware of my main machine. So I began looking at the wiki and found the https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ project that aims to implement open-source NVIDIA drivers and was wondering if there were any hobby OSes that you know...

If that doesnt work you could also look at the Nouveau driver: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/ which should work with this card. Source: 9 months ago

The drivers that contain 'xorg' or 'nouveau' in the name are non-proprietary, or free, or open-source drivers. They are maintained by freedesktop.org. Source: 11 months ago

Again I might be wrong, since I have not looked into it long. But I think that the GPU support in Crostini is only for hardware acceleration. Not for video decoding. I think they use (https://virgil3d.github.io/) which has no video adapter functionality. Source: almost 2 years ago

I'd assume that it doesn't, while passthrough exist on KVM, it still requires the actual drivers to be installed on the emulated OS and mobile handset drivers are usually proprietary blobs. The APIs could be translated to a generic driver that works on the OSs though, something like https://virgil3d.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

I learned recently that there is a project for QEMU: https://virgil3d.github.io/ This does about what you are asking for, has a different approach but is probably not as performant. Source: about 2 years ago

GPU paravirtualization of 3D acceleration is still not really yet available in any virtualization/emulation platform. So for now we've stuck with passthrough. Source: about 2 years ago

A guest in vmd(8) may enter 32-bit mode, but has no graphical display; Civilization IV would need a graphical display with 3D acceleration. VirGL provides such acceleration for Linux guests in qemu, but doesn't exist in vmd. Source: over 2 years ago
