chose graphics card onboard and dedicated

Post by Nick83 »

Hey All,

i have a Notebook with an onboard Intel HD graphics and an Geforce gt730m.
The native System is Windows 8 and i have ubuntu 13.04 running in the virtual box.

I figured that the virtual box is using the Intel HD graphics insteaad of the gforce.
I have been trying to figure out how to make the virtual machine use the Geforce but i could not figure it out.

Is that possible? how does it work ?

Thx!
Nick

The vm doesn't use either of them. It uses its own emulated video card (just as it uses its own emulated network card, not the NIC in the host).
