Yeah I saw the flag mentioned, but wasn't sure if it was in the context
of "windows only" or linux also.  From the sound of things that flag
works with qemu traditional only, with modded cards and no patches.

I never tried anything but qemu-traditional, and I don't use gfx_passthru=1. I don't see a good reason for adding extra complication to a setup that is already very fragile.

    Remind me - did you modify your card into a Quadro/Grid?

    I'm sure I remember David mentioning he had Linux domU running with
    accelerated drivers.


The card is modded to Grid K1 (Linux sees it as GK104).

I tried the `nvidia-kernel-dkms` package, and have also tried the latest
downloaded drivers (3.19.60 http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html).
  Neither worked, when I installed from the downloaded package it said
it was built for gcc 4.6 and could be incompatible.  It appeared to
still install, but again no video.

What distro are you running? Sounds like it might be a little too bleeding edge.
