Host= Windows 7 RTM
Virtual Box Version= 3.0.4
When I first installed Virtualbox my Windows 7 install was using the Microsoft drivers windows found for my ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2. I setup my first Guest OS using Ubuntu 9.04 64bit and during the initial setup I was able to Enable 3D Acceleration. Since this time I installed the drivers provided by AMD\ATI as I expect those are better. Now when I try to setup a new virtual machine the option to Enable 3D Acceleration is grayed out.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong? At initial glance I don't see any ATI settings that looked promising. I'm guessing maybe OpenGL support has changed?

Or not fully supported, I'd go back to the ATI Radeon drivers.

Re: 3D Acceleration
Just to make sure I'm clear. It worked with the Microsoft drivers and NOT the ATI Radeon drivers. I would think the ATI Radeon drivers would have more features and functionality.

Re: 3D Acceleration
Weird, all of a sudden the option is no longer grayed out. Maybe a subsequent reboot did something.
