VB 7.0.8 Does 3d acceleration work under linux?

[akrex6]

Has any one gotten 3d acceleration to work on Ubuntu host with Windows 10 guest?

Basically since VB 7.0 "3d acceleration" has been broken.

For instance testing with acceleration off:
3d viewer app works
Furmark refuses to run (it says it needs a gpu if I remember correctly)

Testing with 3d acceleration enabled:
3d view app displays garbage
Furmark runs but does not show a picture (just black screeen) BUT it reports framerate of ~40FPS at 1440x720

My linux host is Ubuntu 22.10 with AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon graphics
Windows 10 guest with 8GB RAM, 256Mb VRAM, 4 CPUS.

For problems with 7.0 graphics or seize-ups:

7.0 is still in bug-hunt phase, and graphics had a code change.

Please upgrade to the latest 7.0 Virtualbox, Extension Pack if used, and Guest Additions.

If this does not get a stable VM, try switching the 3D acceleration setting (off > on or on > off). If that stabilizes the VM, please note that this happened.

Please create a ticket in the Bugtracker with the problem description, the manufacturer and model of the host PC's graphics card, the graphics driver version (on the host OS), and a (zipped) VBox.log file.

If your host OS is Linux, please provide a zip file with the output of the 'vulkaninfo' command in the Bugtracker ticket, too. (on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint hosts, you may have to install the vulkan-tools package).

Then you could downgrade Virtualbox, Extension Pack and Guest Additions to 6.1.something, or at least the Guest Additions. 3D acceleration won't be possible if you only downgrade the GAs. For full 3D acceleration using the old stable code, downgrade all three.
