Is VMware SVGA 3D device available on QEMU?

Hi, there!

As you can see, VMware SVGA 3D is already available on VMware Workstation 16 player.

I've compiled QEMU v7.0.0 on a Mac based on an Intel CPU, I found that it supports VMware Video Card. However, after I installed Windows 10, it installed the VMware SVGA 3D driver automatically, which caused the screen to die, completely black ,with the Terminal constantly reporting "vmsvga_fifo_run: Unknown command @x300 in SVGA command FIFO". It seemed that the VMware Video Card didn't work properly on QEMU VMs. What should I do to enable 3D card, or all the efforts are all in vain? 

Anticipating your early reply.

Qemu is not VMWare Workstation, so you should direct your questions to them. Last time I looked, their VMWare SVGA implementation only supported Linux guests and was not compatible with Windows guests.
