Any way to get virtual 3D acceleration in a VM (no GPU passthrough)


Recommended Posts

If I create a VM and install Linux Mint Cinnamon I get the warning on startup that Cinnamon is running in software mode every time I start up.

 

I've hitched things up through virt manager but none of the virtual GPU options I've tried seem to resolve this. Even the vmware svga although its unclear to me if unraid can pass some graphics work to the host like vmware supposedly can.

 

If there's no options here its not a big deal, I'll probably just run mate for that guest but I was hoping to give the VM a little boost and take some load of the cpu.
