It is probably good ro hear that Apple will replace ATI with NVidia on some
of its model (yesterday's news). This improves Linux support (whether it's
virtualised on not).

OpenGL Hardware 3D Acceleration for Virtual Machines

| OpenGL apps running inside a Virtual Machine (VM) can use VMGL to
| take advantage of graphics hardware acceleration. VMGL can be used
| on VMware guests, Xen HVM domains (depending on hardware
| virtualization extensions) and Xen paravirtual domains, using
| XVnc or the virtual framebuffer. Although we haven't tested it,
| VMGL should work for qemu, KVM, etc. VMGL is available for
| X11-based guest OS's: Linux, FreeBSD and OpenSolaris. Finally,
| VMGL is GPU-independent: we support ATI, Nvidia and Intel GPUs.
