Ubuntu 21.04 VM with GPU acceleration under Hyper-V...?

Ubuntu 21.04 VM with GPU acceleration under Hyper-V...?

Modern versions of Windows support GPU paravirtualization in Hyper-V with normal consumer graphics cards. This is used e.g. for graphics acceleration in Windows Sandbox, as well as WSLg. In some cases, it may be useful to create a normal VM with GPU acceleration using this feature, but this is not officially supported. People already figured out how to do it with Windows guests though, so why not do the same with Linux? It should be easy given that WSLg is open source and reasonably well documented, right?

Well... not quite. I managed to get it to run... but not well.

How to do it?

  1. Verify driver support

Reset Terminal

Introduction

To reset your terminal, you can call reset from your shell, which is generally included with the target operating systems.

If you want to reset when you are not at a shell prompt (i.e., inside some other application), we can send an escape sequence in another way.

As an example, we can send a special escape sequence to the Nth tty:

echo -e "\ec" > /dev/pts/$N
