Hey, Thanks! This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for. I have only one dGPU, and I'll be assigning it to my windows VM for video editing, game dev, blender, gaming etc. With Linux using VirGL to the igpu on the host, will I be able to assign that video output to one of the motherboard hdmi, and have the other port still show the proxmox console?

Question, do you know to enable VirtGL for Virt-manager ? Virtio seems to be the only option by default. Searching online I didn't find any good results Thanks

Looking at the video title vs what's in the video, Is it VirGL and not VirtGL Typo ?

Good luck on getting a game working with a maximum of 512k of video memory. I tried running C&C , which need Direct x 7 and no way is that going to work .
