I've googled for hours, and checked everything I've found, but still no luck. Please help!

Re: 3D Acceleration Not Working
deactivate the one from Ubuntu and install the one from VirtualBox. You also need to install the following first.
dkms build-essential linux-headers-generic
You also need to sure to update your hosts graphics drivers to the latest version.

Run this on the Ubuntu guest in a terminal and post here.
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
Also post the guests log file (as an attachment)

In the VirtualBox Main Manager click on the device tab at the top and then show log. save and post as an attachment
While you are at it go ahead and post the model and version of the hosts graphics card and the version of the driver.

Re: 3D Acceleration Not Working
OK one final question. In the screen shot above you show that the VirtualBox graphics driver is active. Tell me exactly how you installed the VirtualBox guest additions.
I have a working 11.10 and my Ubuntu Additional Drivers show it as inactive. Meaning I did not install the one they presented to me. Also you can check the installed VirtualBox modules (you will need to install synaptic) and make sure that none of the VirtualBox selections are actually loaded. If they are remove them. Then you click on the device menu at the top of the window and select install guest additions from there. Here is a screen shot of what I have. Also it may be an issue with the ATI card as I have seen a lot of issues from users that have it. Not saying that it is not a good card but I do know Linux has issues with it. Anyway this should give you some ideas what to try.

Re: 3D Acceleration Not Working
I used the standard method to install the additions. However, I did manually activate the driver. So, I deactivated the driver and restarted.
Checked and have no virtualbox packages:
From VM window, Devices->Install Guest Additions...:
Restarted, but still:
From the Xorg.0.log error, I do confirm that vboxvideo_dri.so does not exist in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri. After that load failure comes the dreaded 'AIGLX: reverting to software rendering' error. I'm just not sure how that DRI driver is installed. However, it seems the most likely cause of the problem. Any idea why that driver is missing?
BTW, THANKS for hammering away at this with me!

Re: 3D Acceleration Not Working
I am afraid that you are going to need to get the assistance of the DEVs now. I have gone as far as I can go since I don't have an ATI graphics card.
Please post to bugtracker and be sure to reference this topic. Don't forget to post your guest log file as an attachment and post the ticket number here as well so others can follow the progress.

Re: 3D Acceleration Not Working
OK, two possible solutions were found:
1. Install this: https://www.virtualbox.org/download/tes ... r74568.iso
Or
2. Install Ubuntu package virtualbox-ose-guest-utils (via apt-get or synaptic) instead of the standard VB Guest Additions.
