I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure I have heard about Virgil 3D before, but I have never looked closer at it. I agree that accelerated graphics would be the logical next step once the basics work, and something like this would provide more isolation than GPU pass-through. Of course, for my test case of live ISO images, it would be nicer to emulate a well-known graphics card rather than introducing bhyve-specific drivers. In any case, I'm new on the list, so maybe someone else knows more about this. /Henrik
