I was trying to compile QEMU with the options to enable this - but got
derailed.
The big thing was that I needed to install virglrendered and then pass
to QEMU --enable-virglrendered --enable-opengl --enable-spice --enable-gtk
Which meant getting virglrendered which was so new I needed to update the machine
to Fedora 23. After that it built (I think), but then I ended up having trouble
with qemu-traditional with VNC. There were some patches posted for this, and then
.. X-Mas week came :-)
I will try dust this off next week.
