Phoronix: Mesa's Venus VirtIO-GPU Driver Adds More Extensions To Help Zink

The Mesa Venus driver that provides Vulkan API support for use inside of QEMU with VirtIO-GPU has added a number of extensions to help support for the Zink OpenGL-on-Vulkan driver...

really hope qemu can implement these soon, I have a couple of really cool projects waiting for this and crosvm is just too much of a pain

This will all be great if the developers ever manage to create a fully functional Windows guest driver. Until then I have a host Linux system with all the GPU acceleration I need.

That's not too easy due to different graphics APIs...

There was a mention in March that they were planning to by around now to be making some more progress with QEMU support: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-b...iver/#qcom1860

So hopefully we'll hear something about that soon enough

in the qemu mailing list it was mentioned that vulkan work was picking back up (on that and a potential gfxstream implementation which could be really cool), but I've never gotten venus to work on my gpu on either qemu or crosvm (polaris 580), I do plan on testing the DG2 eventually, but since before I got accsess to the a380 then crosvm has simply just, stopped working for me entirely
