[fedora-virt] Hardware acceleration in my Win7 virtual machine

[David C. Mores]

Use of some applications (e.g. Solitaire) in my Win7 [qemu] virtual
machine start with a warning that "Hardware acceleration is either
disabled or not supported by your video card driver ...". I understand
that the qemu virtual VGA driver is simple. However, is there any
activity going on to make a VGA driver that has virtualized access to
video hardware acceleration in the host system? Is it available?

I'm running Fedora 21 with qemu 2.1.3-3

Yeah there's some work going on, google for virtio-gpu or 'qemu virgil', but
it's still quite a ways away from general usability.
