Uhm... I think I checked 3D Acceleration at the beginning, while creating the VM. I'll now try to uncheck it.
UPDATE:
3D Acceleration disabled, no change.

You are the second user that I have seen with the MS driver and they did not have any success getting it to work.
You can open a terminal in the guest and type the following to see if unity is able to work or not, but I can almost promise it can't.
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
In any case I would see why I was using the MS driver instead of the ATI driver. That should be the fix if you can find out why.

Without 3d Acceleration the test fails with my user as with the guest user.
With 3D Accelleration this is the result:

Like I said you do not have an OpenGL driver that actually works on the host. Find out how to force Windows 8 to use your ATI video card. It may be that you just don't have the drivers installed and Windows is using its drivers. See if your video card model is compatible with Windows 8 and if there are any drivers available from ATI.

Well, i'm using TOSHIBA's drivers (and these are the only I can use, because my notebook is such a dualGPU one: GMA+Ati, i guess).
I can say my video-card is compatible with W8 at 99,999%, because the notebook is sold with a W8 license and all the related drivers.
If you know some way to investigate deeply: i'm here to execute!
EDIT:
However, the results on the guest user are the same, but on this user I see the interface and I can use the OS.

dualGPU one: GMA+Ati
The low power one is why you are not actually using the ATI drivers. See if there is a program associated with the video card that allows you to tell it to use the normal power drivers when you use VirtualBox. You may also need to look in the bios. I can't tell you exactly what to do because I do not use dual power video and I don't have ATI or Windows 8 hosts. You need to either find out how by asking the manufacture forum, the ATI forums or hopefully someone may drop by that can tell you.

just saw your edit. Yes you can use the software renderer but you should look at your CPU while doing so. Most of my tests show a 20% to 30% hit to the CPU. Meaning any power saving you may have achieved by not running the GPU at high power you are loosing it and actually using more power due to software rendering having to use the CPU.

Lurking in my system I see a strange thing.
Well, strange two times, the first is because I just heard about it, the second is the thing itself:
It looks as my system has (and in reality it hasn't) 2 ATI Cards mounted, both 7670! Clearly it isn't so, i'm pretty sure it's just a way to manage separately HDMI out and VGA out.

UPDATE!
I created a new user, at first as Normal User, no problem; then as Administrator: no problem.
Instead, the first one is still unusable, so I guess it's a problem about the user that installs the Guest Additions.
Now I need to solve the GPU problem.
