 ==========
 
 This document explains the setup and usage of the virtio-gpu device.
-The virtio-gpu device paravirtualizes the GPU and display controller.
+The virtio-gpu device provides a GPU and display controller
+paravirtualized using VirtIO. It supports a number of different modes
+from simple 2D displays to fully accelerated 3D graphics.
 
-Linux kernel support
---------------------
+Linux guest kernel support
+--------------------------
 
 virtio-gpu requires a guest Linux kernel built with the
 ``CONFIG_DRM_VIRTIO_GPU`` option.
 
+3D acceleration
+---------------
+
+3D acceleration of a virtualized GPU is still an evolving field.
+Depending on the 3D mode you are running you may need to override
+distribution supplied libraries with more recent versions or enable
+build options. There are a number of requirements the host must meet
+to be able to be able to support guests. QEMU must be able to access the
+host's GPU and for the best performance be able to reliably share GPU
+memory with the guest. Details of 3D acceleration requirements are
+described in a further sections.

+By default OpenGL version on guest is limited to 4.3. In order to enable
+OpenGL 4.6 support, virtio-gpu  host blobs feature (``hostmem`` and ``blob``
