    <thetext>These include syncing sync qemugl with other projects (e.g. MeeGo?, Android?). Ideally we&apos;d be working on a solution which could be submitted and accepted by upstream QEMU. Also need to consider GLES support.</thetext>

    <thetext>On Meego side, Zaborowski Andrew will start to push Meego GL patches into qemu upstream. According to comments from qemu&apos;s community, Andrew need implement virtio-serial module as an alternative of virtio-gl, and do a lot of code clean.

Plan is @ http://los-vmm.sc.intel.com/wiki/QEMU_GL_Acceleration

As the Meego GL is under huge changes, we do not start syncing until see some progress in Andrew&apos;s upstream efforts.

So no time estimation here. I&apos;ll keep one eye on Andrew&apos;s status.

Thanks,
Edwin</thetext>

    <thetext>We probably have to postpone this feature to post v1.2 since Edwin is driving multilib in M3. No other bandwidth on this.</thetext>

Status update from Andrew.

Andrew prepared a series of patch for GL and sent out to qemu mailing list. The response is not so positive: code is not so clean, architecture need re-design...

Given that qemu community doesn&apos;t accept current GL patch, we may need re-design the whole architecture, which is huge efforts and beyond yocto project scope.

RH and android has their own graphic/GL virtualization solution, we can reuse some of them.</thetext>

    <thetext>We&apos;ve dropped support for GL passthrough in QEMU for now until there is an upstream source we can adopt this from.</thetext>
