3D Hardware Acceleration Problems

Post by mr.moch »

I have been using VirtualBox for a while with Ubuntu, Windows7, and many other linux distros.

I was trying out a game on Windows 7 through VirtualBox, and it said I needed DirectX 9 and a hardware-accelerator driver. I have DirectX 10 on my Vista host and DirectX 11 on Windows 7. However, the driver will not work. Is there a solution to this problem?

P.S. I was unsure if this should go under "host" or "guest", so I put it under "host".

DirectX is not yet supported under VB.
