For a Linux domU right now, your best bet is to use X protocol over the
virtual network (but this will be slow). For Windows, it's not possible now
I'm afraid.
Further in the future:
* Jacob Gorm Hansen has written a paravirtualised 3d driver called "blink"
that may allow this (nb. currently for Linux / Unix guests)
* You might be able to give Linux guests access to a separate PCI graphics
card using the PCI assignment stuff
If you want Windows games, I guess you could use Wine / Cedega .... ? Of
course if you did that, you might as well run in dom0 or on native Linux!
Further developments include efforts by some companies to develop a
virtualisation-aware 3d graphics card that'll support multiple virtual
machines, and the IOMMU work mentioned. It'd also be possible to emulate a
full 3d card to the Windows guest, but it's not clear that'd be worth the
effort.
Sorry there's not a better answer right now :-/
HTH,
