Its not supported.
How come I see people saying their VB shows up as some GeForce FX 5200 card, or GeForce 3 card and stuff???Actually, using Windows XP SP3 guest, Windows 7 host, installing the additions didn't work right (DXCapsViewer didn't see the card). Rebooting in safe mode and re-running the Guest Additions installer, then rebooting again, made it work. The card shows up as a GeForce FX 5200.
I lowered the value. It was 100MB. If i enable 2D. Then the same thing as with 3D? More "2D juice" + features from the real card?One more thing:
You can select very few Video Memory for your Guest OS -- like 8 MB - this is only used for 2D.
The slider does not allow you to choose more than 128 MB. Fear not.
For 3D acceleration, VirtualBox *automatically* uses the video RAM available on the host video card.
I presume you are talking about next major release, not maintenance ones.Technologov wrote:...There is a chance to see it this year...
Yes, You are saying right i am also using VMware Workstation product and i also believe that VMware Fusion has not additional 3D support.AVonGauss wrote:I don't believe VMware Fusion has any additional 3D support beyond that of the normal VMware Workstation product, which if I remember correctly is limited to DirectX 8.
