[Solved] Enabling 3D acceleration shows weird stuff

Post by kostonstyle »

Hi all
I have a notebook that can be switched between NVIDIA and Intel graphics card.
When I switch to NVIDIA then it shows wired color as you can see on the attached file.
When I switch back to Intel, then everything is good.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Maybe you mean "weird", strange?

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, when the weird behavior occurs. Actually do it for two logs, one with the Nvidia, one with the Intel GPU:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Hi all
I've installed windows 10 and enabled the graphics acceleration as the following:

but it seems, that it does not work correctly as you can see on the image below:

The additional driver has been installed.

What else can I do wrong?

Thanks

Hi all

When I enable 3D acceleration on linux guest, it shows weird stuff, though guest software is installed.

and the settings is:

What am I doing wrong?

I am using

Code: Select all

VirtualBox Graphical User Interface
Version 6.0.4 r128413 (Qt5.9.5)

Thanks

I merged all 3 of your posts that talk about the same essentially thing; corrupted graphics. Keep in mind that according to the forum rules, duplicate posts are not allowed. It's not good etiquette...

I told you in your 1st post to post the log. You never did. But from your settings, you're using the VMSVGA Graphics controller for the Linux guest, and the VBoxSVGA for your Windows guest. Both of these are new additions in VirtualBox ≥ 6.0.0 and have some issues that need to address.

Shut down the VM and change the Graphics Controller to the older/trusted "VBoxVGA". See if that works... If not, I still need that log.

Sorry for my late response, because I did not have time.
You can find the log as attachments.

Thanks a lot

I'm afraid we're not going to move forward if you keep ignoring the advice you're given:

Now, why you posted the logs, and having us analyze them, without you having made the changes? I can't figure out that part...
