Later when I tried VirtualBox I found VB video driver has such 3D acceleration abilities, but I just don't like VB style slow performance; Then are there some plans / possibilities to add more virtual graphics hardware drivers for qemu kvm ? Any specification to follow?

[Qemu-devel] How to use qemu-kvm with Fedora15-beta gnome3 (better vga driver ?)
Hi all, I'm trying to use qemu-kvm to run Fedora15-beta with gnome3, but it told me graphics hardware failed to run gnome3 specific features and it fallback to gnome2; I checked the qemu-doc and tried all these vga drivers, no one could work with gnome3, does someone know how to run qemu with a better virtual graphics hardware ? Thanks, http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html ‘-vga type’ Select type of VGA card to emulate. Valid values for type are ‘cirrus’ Cirrus Logic GD5446 Video card. All Windows versions starting from Windows 95 should recognize and use this graphic card. For optimal performances, use 16 bit color depth in the guest and the host OS. (This one is the default) ‘std’ Standard VGA card with Bochs VBE extensions. If your guest OS supports the VESA 2.0 VBE extensions (e.g. Windows XP) and if you want to use high resolution modes (= 1280x1024x16) then you should use this option. ‘vmware’ VMWare SVGA-II compatible adapter. Use it if you have sufficiently recent XFree86/XOrg server or Windows guest with a driver for this card. -- Cheng Renquan (程任全)
