You can always try to stack D3D on top of OpenGL with wine, but that's unlikely to perform decently (or provide multi-threading.) > What does "at the moment" mean?

(Yay, ATI.).I disagree, it depends on people porting the 3D API's to virtual machine-friendly libraries, which is what vmgl (old xen-gl) does. ATI releasing the specs is a promising step for enabling open-source drivers. But from my p.o.v. that only means we'll get robust xen dom0 drivers, instead of hacking the few parts of the driver that are visible and praying. Providing 3D accel to domU's is another business.
