libvirt users - Apr 2019 - GVT-g - suboptimal user experience

Hi.
In the current state of gvt-g the user experience is suboptimal.
So my question is what are the ETAs for following features:
1. Accelerated virt-manager console using gvt-g device
2. Custom resolutions or dynamic resolution
3. UEFI VMs support (Windows guest)
Thanks.

Could you elaborate a bit more about the first two features? On UEFI VMs support
(Windows guest), do you mean enabling Windows VM display on UEFI? Thanks.

Hello.

All features are about usability and simple user experience.

1. Its about local display / dmabuf feature. Currently user needs to use
virt-viewer tool. But virt-manager already incorporates graphical console. It
would be nice if it could support accelerated gvt-g local display. Preferably
with minimum performance overhead. Also virt-manager should allow to use mdev
videocard alone, without requiring to use additional primary virtual adapter
like QXL or Cirrus

2. Currently with gvt solution there few mdev devices each with fixed
resolution. User should be able to configure own resolutions for devices at host
without additional manipulations in guest. Ideally, resolution should be dynamic
and change appropriately on resize of virt-manager window

3. This is about windows guest and VM configured with UEFI (OVMF) instead of
BIOS. I head its about dropping OpRegion dependency in Windows guest driver to
support that configuration

Thank you.
