GNOME shell starts on llvmpipe in sid with libvirt qemu/kvm with spice/qxl. glxinfo | grep renderer outputs Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits)

GNOME shell also starts in sid with libvirt qemu/kvm with spice/cirrus but it doesn’t use the KMS driver even though cirrusdrmfb (fb0) is primary device. glxinfo | grep renderer still outputs Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 128 bits).

I think this report belongs to Feature #7394 instead, and probably is caused by the lack of the xserver-xorg-video-modesetting package. Please move this part of the discussion there :)

Next thing to do IMO: test with llvmpipe on older hardware (e.g. ThinkPad X32 or similar).

GNOME Shell works in a jessie guest as well on libvirt/qemu with llvmpipe.

Software 3D acceleration works fine in a sid or jessie qemu/kvm guest with QXL/Spice graphics running on a sid host with the following hardware:
- Intel® Core™ i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
- VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)
- OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel® Ivybridge Mobile
The guest is usable and faster than a Tails 1.0.1 or 1.1 VM on the same host with the same VM parameters. Even opening several tabs in iceweasel and scrolling big pages in the guest doesn’t result in a noticable slowness

I’m told that it works fine on a X61. I’m unsure if that’s with llvmpipe or real hardware support, but it’s a useful data-point regarding older hardware.
