The web page is (possibly): https://virgil3d.github.io/
But like many many other open source projects the page hasn't
been updated in a long time and the actual status appears in
various random blogs which are utterly meaningless unless
you have followed every step of development :-).
Hence my original mail asking if anyone knew the actual
state of things.
I was just installing a new system for virtualization purposes and I
noticed one of the packages that was getting installed was called
"virglrenderer". The description is:
The virgil3d rendering library is a library used by qemu to implement 3D
GPU support for the virtio GPU.
I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but sounds like it might actually
be working assuming the OS has virtio GPU support.
