[Solved] 3D Acceleration
Posted: 16. Aug 2009, 20:30
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?
