OpenGL not working?

Post by PeteandPerry »

hello everyone, I'm trying to run minecraft in a virtualbox environment.

I've enabled both 3d & 2D support, set video memory to 64mb (which I recon should be enough) + 1 Gig ram assigned to it.

but still upon launching it say's my driver doesn't support OpenGL.

so my guess is, that whatever drivers came with the winXP cd I used doesn't work with VB, but I can't find what graphics card vb is emulating so I have no Idea what driver I should get to work with vb.

any help?

Have you read the manual howto to install the guest additions in safe mode?

If not done this way, then check it.

If done, then its not working because of its not working. Mostly games are not supported. Play games native, that makes sense.
