Today I found this driver to have graphics on #FreeBSD in #UTM on #MacOS.

It is only added a few weeks ago. Lucky me. 🍀

Is this just a framebuffer? I normally run Xephyr on XQuartz. To get an X server for VMs on macOS, or native X if I want acceleration but having paravirtualised GPU access would be nice.
@david_chisnall
yes, a framebuffer
See https://gitlab.com/tgasiba/virtio_gpu_qemu
"An out-of-tree VirtIO GPU display driver for FreeBSD guests running under
QEMU or UTM, adding mmap(2) support for the framebuffer so that Xorg /
Xlibre can drive the display through xf86-video-scfb."
@david_chisnall @ronnie_bonkers I used XPRA for this sort of thing but a better driver looks good - nice to see it happen!
