You can para-virtualize 3d acceleration but at this time this is more

3D "virtualization" is already available in consumer products:
http://www.parallels.com/en/products/desktop/features/3d/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/features.html
The original question was about KVM.
Those products apparently virtualize by providing stub DirectX and
OpenGL implementations and forwarding them to the host machine. As such,
That's exactly what is meant by para-virtualization.
they don't yet support DirectX 10 which is required for Vista's effects.
