Is 3D suppposed to work on Linux guests?

[sej7278]

I'm trying to get 3D acceleration to work on Fedora 14 (or 13, or Ubuntu 9.10) and whilst glxgears works, Compiz doesn't detect 3D hardware. This is 3.2.10 PUEL and 4.0.0 OSE from SVN.

I don't think I've ever seen working 3D so was just wondering if like 2D its not supposed to work under Linux guests, but there's just no warning message?

Are there weird fudges other than installing guest additions and enabling the option that you have to do to get 3D to work?

Are we ever going to see accelerated 2D, or is there some fundamental reason why that will never work?

I've used 2D/3D on Win7 guests, its not great performance-wise (you won't be playing Crysis anytime soon) but it lets you enable Aero at least.

For what it's worth. Compiz does work in Ubuntu 10.10 on a Mac host. 1 out of 50 isn't too bad.

looking at the other threads, that's about the only thing that works on 10.10 under virtualbox then!

so how do we get it to work on fedora i wonder.....?

well, I asked about Fedora 14 and was told to be patient. I assume that means they are working on a fix.

Ubuntu-10.10 guest works with Compiz in PUEL-3.2.10 (see screen shot) I will try F-14 as soon as I get finished running a compile.

Compiz is running here (host: Debian Squeeze, 3.2.10 PUEL) on Fedora 13, Ubuntu 10.04 9.10 (did not yet install newest Fedora and Ubuntu) - as well as OpenGL Screensavers on Ubuntu. When someone gives me a hint what package to install for OpenGL screensaver on Fedora i can try this too.


What graphic hardware do you use?

[fixedwheel]

after installing and removing (they messed up the Gnome default screensaver) some OpenGL screensaver packages on Fedora 13 things are gone worse: doesn't detect 3D hardware ... Compiz won't run anymore.

extremetuxracer runs on Ubuntu
(except for the mouse is not working)

[loukingjr]

Compiz works great in Ubuntu 10.10 and since this morning, Linux Mint 10rc...



Ubuntu 10.10 is actually the first time I've seen Compiz at work. And I've installed 30-40 guests.

Ever wonder how much time people spend spinning desktop cubes and wobbling windows?

[Perryg]

Ok Fedora 14 seems to not like something if you try to activate effects. I am thinking about posting a ticket to bugtracker but from what I see it is in Fedora.
The crash happens in a Fedora module. Anyway I will post more here when I have it all together.

I don't suppose while you are at it you would look into why Sabayon 5.4 and any PCLinuxOS with Compiz won't work either?

Sure but it is on the list and we know about those. Really I will be getting to them as soon as I can.

ok, thanks. I don't mean to be a pest but sometimes it's hard to tell if it's some incompatibility or I screwed something up.
