Does KVMGT support android (ex. Android x86) ??

I roughly know android x86 porting based on Linux DRM , however, not pretty much sure that KVMGT supports Android x86 or not.

currently not. Only Core platform supported, not SoC.

Hi Jike, My description might not be very clear. Android x86 is an open source project. Plz see here. (http://www.android-x86.org/) I have run android x86 in qemu on Intel i7, and there is no GPU acceleration. (I need GPU acceleration in Android x86 guest OS for some applications).

Aha, thanks for the correction :)

As long as supported CPU used - Currently on Haswell, Broadwell will come soon - KVMGT should be there.

You are running android-x86 on Linux, right? If your CPU is supported, and KVM is used, then KVMGT should work for you.

However, by "should work" I mean guest OS is capable to find an Intel GPU, submitting GPU commands to it. I didn't mean that everything necessary is already contained by guest OS :)

Hi Jike, Thanks for reply. Yes we run android this way: android x86 - qemu - linux - hardware Intel i7. According to your reply, I guess guest OS (i.e. Android x86) can find Intel GPU rather than some other generic software render but a correct driver might be needed... I will install KVMGT on my experimental PC to test it. Thanks to you again.
