Hi all, for some reason opengl isn't working (hardware acceleration that is).
here's an extract from the log:
"
00:00:00.717 Initializing host clipboard service
00:00:00.721 Shared clipboard: starting host clipboard thread
00:00:00.721 VBoxSharedClipboard mode: Bidirectional
00:00:00.991 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VENDOR: NVIDIA Corporation
00:00:00.991 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_RENDERER: GeForce 8800 GT/PCI/SSE2
00:00:00.991 OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VERSION: 2.1.2 NVIDIA 180.11
00:00:00.995 Shared crOpenGL service loaded
"
(this is the only part in the log file relating to opengl that I could find)
guest additions is installed, and I just installed wined3d. But opengl wasn't working before I installed wined3d so wined3d didn't brake it.
I'm using Virtualbox 2.1.4 and ubuntu 8.10, guest additions is installed. Opengl works on the host. (and d3d9)
I don't know if the d3d9_test comes with wined3d but when I run it it says something about opengl required/not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
First time posting here so I hope I added all the things that you may need.

Re: Opengl not working XP
I am so sorry, I made a spelling mistake in the original post (I said opengl is working when it's not working)
Sorry about that.
Anyone know how to fix the opengl problem?

Re: Opengl not working XP
Didn't update it, as in the sense of update manager, but I used the guest additions that comes with 2.1.4 and I also used the guest additions of 2.2 beta (just to see if it fixed the problem).
At the moment I'm reinstalling linux to a new hard drive, to see if I messed up something else that is interfering. A more vanilla like environment so that we can be sure.
Also is there a log file for the guest additions?

Re: Opengl not working XP
Disabling AMD-V helped, opengl get's accelerated now 
Although catia V6 crashed still crashes, that's no biggie. Thanks stefan.becker!
