Laggy Graphics in Ubuntu 4.14 Guest

The graphics on my Ubuntu 4.14 guest are terribly slow. I gave it 128 MB of Video Memory, the max, and enabled 3D acceleration, but it's still really slow. I'm running it on windows 8.1 with a Nvidia 860M Graphics card, any help?

That was the first thing I did, if that helps I don't want to know what it was like before guest additions.

Post the guests log file ( as an attachment )

Also the result of the following run from the guests terminal

Code: Select all

glxinfo | grep OpenGL
You will need to install the mesa-utils for the above to work

Gallium is the software renderer for Ubuntu. Your guest additions are not installed or not installed properly. Still waiting for the guests log file.

right click on the guest in the main manager then show log. save and attach

There was an issue with the 4.3.12 additions and they posted a 4.3.13 version. That version is no longer available but I have heard that some installed the 4.3.14 additions and it fixed their issue.

What does the glxinfo command I gave you say now?

Also a new log file as an attachment would help.
