Hi,John: How about this project now? I built and install the kext in my OSX EI Captain vm runs on KVM,but it seems dosn't work.So I wonder if this driver works on OSX EI. Thank you!

Hi syshack,

This project is a WIP and I've been far too busy at work to complete it.

QXL doesn't seem like the best protocol to implement anymore with the advent of virgl. If I had time to work on this, I'd be looking more in-depth at that.

@John-K Hi! Any news on this project? Did you make any research about writing virgl driver for macOS?

It seems like the best approach is to use a modified IOFramebuffer for the display provider then give the OS an OpenGL backend further down the Graphics Pipeline (like VMWare attempts to do) I'd personally like to see a GLD plugin backed by llvmpipe
