Hi Is it possible to pass GPU "calls" from my host gpu card to my guest vm?
windows 7 pro x64 is host
GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB is host GPU
running virtualbox 4.1.4 r74291
the guest VM is either a XP pro sp3 or a windows 7 32bit enterprise edition
My whole issue is HDCP compliance.
I've got a blu-ray drive in my host with dual dell 2408 monitors. It is HDCP compliant, and works. Plays/reads blu rays and dvds fine.
I am trying to do some things in my VM's, and it is basically saying that the monitor is analog and not HDCP compliant. I'm wondering if i can somehow get the VMs to use the host drivers for the GPU and or my dells monitors.
thoughts!?

Re: Passing GPU from Host to Guest
Not with the current VBox release. The dev's future plans are unknown, but I wouldn't count on this happening soon.
