Direct3D under Windows 2K - supported ?

Post by gilboa »

Hello all,

I've installed Windows 2K / SP4 on a Fedora 12 x86_64 host.
The Windows 2K machine is fully updated - including D3D9c.
I've installed the guest additions in safe mode (including Direct3D support) and enabled direct 3D acceleration in the VM settings.
Never the less, dxdiag claims that D3D is not supported.

By looking at manual I see that only XP and Vista are officially supported. Am I out of luck?
