Those interested in these patches posted by AMD Linux engineer Pierre-Eric Pelloux-Prayer can see this Mesa merge request for more details on this work to improve the AMD Radeon Linux graphics/gaming experience within VMs. Team Red hasnt officially responded yet, but those installing the driver should set a new system restore point first to be safe. More background information on this area in VirtGPU DRM Native Contexts Show Potential For Good VM Gaming Performance. Besides Mesa patches, there are also some patches needed against Virglrenderer, QEMU, and the Linux kernel to make this all work. AMD Radeon Settings is the primary driver interface that allows the user to make changes to the graphics driver’s many options. AMD Display Driver Find another model By registering your device, you can easily manage your product warranty, get technical support and keep track of your repair status.
Ultimately this native context support for VirtIO should yield better performance and easier maintenance/support. This pending work allows for the native hardware drivers - namely RadeonSI Gallium3D and the RADV Vulkan driver - to be used within a QEMU+KVM-based virtual machine with VirtIO.Ĭurrently those with AMD Radeon graphics and running QEMU+KVM have to resort to using the Virgl/Venus Mesa graphics stack while this native context support for VirtIO allows for the proper hardware drivers to be used within the VMs both for OpenGL and Vulkan. As part of an AMD effort to enhance the performance of the AMD Linux graphics drivers when running in a virtualized environment, a set of initial patches are pending for Mesa that implement native context support for VirtIO.
