I understand that VGA passthrough isn't officially supported on
paravirtualized VMs, but it will work with certain video cards. Does
anybody have any information about which video cards/chipsets are/are
not supported for paravirtualization, what the criteria for being
supported/unsupported is etc.?

I'm also interested in understanding the technical problems to getting
VGA passthrough working with paravirtualized VMs to see if it's
something we might look at putting some effort into.

thanks,

Anthony.
