Description

Low-latency VM display output can be viewed from the host through the Looking Glass IVSHMEM device. It helps advanced virtualization users access a GPU-passthrough guest without relying on a physical monitor attached to the guest GPU.

This workflow depends on correct host, guest, shared-memory, GPU, and permission setup. Misconfiguration can leave the guest hard to access, so keep an alternate console or remote path available.
