Support for Linux 4.14 (which came out after 5.2.0 and 5.1.30 were released) is scheduled for 5.2.2.

That'll be it then! :-) Any schedule for the release of 5.2.2?

Thanks for the prompt response.

Cheers,

Mike.

Here is another topic discussing 3D acceleration problems :-

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=85559#p406826

However this time it is OpenGL which seems to be failing. The OPs OpenGL app gives an OpenGL buffer overflow error message in a Win7 VM. I tested with two apps in an XP VM, and they both just hang. One of these apps is an oldish 3D model viewer of my own, so I know it was a basic direct mode OpenGL 1.1 app which works fine everywhere else. I'm not certain whether the second app I tried is OpenGL or Direct3D, but it hangs just like my own app did.

As mentioned in an earlier post, DxDiag also hangs in the same VM.

I had not updated the GAs in these VMs, so this could be a backwards compatibility issue, or else some host-side feature has broken.

There was another topic, viewtopic.php?f=7&t=85162, which talks about the same issue. Not allowed to post URLs yet, so can't post a direct link.

The network host-only configuration still talks about setting up through File->Preferences->Network, not File->Host Network Manager.
