Post by Peter Cheung »

Hi All, iMac 27" retina graphic performance is just too slow with ubuntu desktop 14.04 LTS. dragging the window in gnome is too lagging. Any workaround?
thanks

Not having a Retina 27" I'm guessing but, make sure the guest additions are installed correctly and 3D acceleration is enabled. If that is not fast enough, reduce the resolution of your iMac.

I already enabled 3d acceleration, but still worst performance

Attach the compressed vbox.log for the guest to a message here.
