Subject: [pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v1 1/2] virtio-vga-gl: add Vulkan (venus) support
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 12:25:27 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251110114032.125526-2-m.frank@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251110114032.125526-1-m.frank@proxmox.com>

The venus protocol facilitates the translation of Vulkan API calls via
the virglrenderer. To use it, the virgl-server package must be installed
on the host.

The Vulkan option is represented by an enum with values such as
'venus-512' and 'venus-1024'. This is to allow for the potential
addition of another Vulkan implementation in the future. The number
indicates the memory window in MiB for Venus.
