Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Hi,
My setup is VirtualBox (v5.1.22) on Windows 10. I'm running Linux Mint with Cinnamon in the Virtual Box. When I enable 3D Acceleration, I get strange garbled artifacts on portions of the screen. See attached screenshot. I have already made sure all Mint updates are included. I have also added the guest additions, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling those. Interestingly, I have a separate Ubuntu with Unity desktop, and it performs fine with 3D acceleration, so it just seems to be this Mint Cinnamon install. Any ideas of what I might try?

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
It's the 3D acceleration with Linux (X11) guests. For more information on the situation at hand, please see: 3D support for X11 guests.

Thank you for the response! So, from reading that article, it sounds like it's something I will be unlikely able to fix?

Make sure the pixel color depth (e.g. 32bpp) is the same on both host and guest.

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
I had this same problem, and it might be an issue with something Cinnamon is doing. I installed Cinnamon on Ubuntu, and had the same problem as in Mint. Not sure what Cinnamon is doing that would cause it though. I don't experience this issue in Unity or Gnome.
Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
infinityronin, that's exactly my experience. Ubuntu with Unity doesn't have this issue, nor does Gnome. Something with Cinnamon specifically. I might just give up on Cinnamon and stick with the others (it's a shame, as I like Cinnamon the best).

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Agreed, I am also a big fan of Cinnamon. I ended up just going with the standard Ubuntu Unity install, especially since according to the post above, x11 is now user supported.

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
I run cinnamon on just about every distro I test. So I am wondering why the issue? I saw the post about x11 and all that but to tell you the truth I have had very few issues with the exception of beta and release candidates. How about seeing a guest log of the offending version ( as an attachment )?
You cold also post the /var/log/vboxadd-install.log and the /var/log/xorg.0.log ( also as an attachment )
One other thing that could shed some light is the results of "glxinfo | grep OpenGL" from the guests terminal.

Oh and I am moving this to Linux guests for now.

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Most probably it's an OpenGL extension that is not supported by the host's graphics hardware/software. I've seen it happening a long time ago (maybe 4-5 years ago) with Ubuntu 12.04. It then became worse with 14.04, and it was getting worse with every new Ubuntu release. It got resolved slowly over time with newer VirtualBox releases.

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
@Perryg , I apologize for the delay in responding, the email notifications for this forum weren't working quite right (probably user error on my part).
I have attached the requested logs: Guest log, vboxadd-install.log , xorg.0.log
Let me tell you it was a real trick getting these logs with how I could barely see anything on the Screen
Also here is a screenshot of the glxinfo | grep OpenGL

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Yes, you are right. I have a Dell XPS 15 which has the dedicated NVIDIA GPU. I'll dig into figuring out how to tell the laptop to always use the high graphics adapter when using Guest. I'm not sure how to do that, but I'm sure the answer is somewhere in these forums. Thanks!

Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Actually it probably is not in this forum. I would look at the dell forums for information about both issues I posted. The chaining issue and the proper selection of the adapter.
Re: Portions of display garbled with 3D Acceleration
Alrighty, will do. Thanks!
