WDDM on Windows 7 Guest and Ubuntu 11.10 Host

[merorafael]

My Windows 7 Guest don't work WDDM driver(to use Windows Aero) on my desktop(Graphic Card: GeForce 8600GT) and my notebook(APU: AMD E-350). The two virtual machine with 3D and 2D acceleration enabled and 576Mb of RAM memory configured(in notebook) and 1024Mb(in desktop).

Thanks for any help, and sorry for my bad english

What exactly doesn't work? Can you select an Aero theme? If not, what happens when you try?

Prints that the Video Driver doesn't support the WDDM and any "Computer's experience" is Unknow on Windows Guest(It not work on my Windows Guest in Virtualbox 4.1.4 and i don't know if it needed to run Aero).

I installed the Guest drivers on Safe mode and enables the Direct3D and WDDM instalation.

You do not need to install anything in safe mode if you are using WDDM. You are confusing WDDM and the previous 3d system. Just accept the WDDM option when you install the GAs (after you have uninstalled the bits you installed in Safe Mode). This has been discussed before.

Wait for future versions. There is nothing else you can do.

For some people it works. Depends on Host vga card, driver and host os. For me it does not work very well, too. Its experimental.

Reporting... this bug only happens in my notebook(Sony Veio Y Series - VPC-YB15), which works with APU(AMD E-350) processor. On my computer(desktop), the driver works correctly(processor GPU, GeForce 8600GT). Both running with Ubuntu 11.10 host.
Again, thanks for the help.
