I am running the latest version of vbox on Fedora 16.
I installed Win7 as a guest. But it only sees the video as Generic device.
I tried to run my Radion CD with the windows drivers but it says it cannot
find the video card.
Is there a way to run windows video drivers in a guest environment?
thanks, Ed

The answer is no. Install guest additions.
Read the Forum posting guide and the FAQ. You have to learn what a VM is (and here: what not).

Re: How to load Window video drivers on guest OS?
Video cards are one of the most asked questions. So, read the VirtualBox FAQ. This is getting a lock, it's too easy to find the answer. It's in the Forum Posting Guide to read the FAQ first and you even get a warning notice when you try to post.
