I am running a VirtualBox version 6.1 Linux Mint 19.1 guest in a Linux Mint 20.0 host. My host graphics card is an Nvidia GTX1080 running native driver version 390. The VboxGuestAdditions.iso is v6.1. Everything on the guest seems to work except opengl. When I try to run Blender in the guest, it gives me the message:
The host 'display' settings are VMSVGA (it's the only setting permitted with the 3D acceleration checkbox), 128MB mem and 1 monitor.Error! Unsupported graphics card or driver. A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
In the guest Linux, 'lsmod |grep vid' produces:
'glxinfo | grep OpenGL' produces:vboxvideo 36864 0
ttm 106496 2 vmwgfx,vboxvideo
drm_kms_helper 172032 2 vmwgfx,vboxvideo
drm 401408 8 vmwgfx,drm_kms_helper,vboxvideo,ttm
video 45056 0
I've looked at the forum search results for 'linux opengl'. Nothing quite fit my specific setup but I followed what suggestions I could find that seemed related.OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: SVGA3D; build: RELEASE; LLVM;
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 20.0.8
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 20.0.8
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
No joy.
Thanks for any clarifications you could provide.
Best regards,
