3D acceleration in 4.3.14 with latest NVIDIA drivers?

Post by madwolfa »

3D acceleration stopped working in 4.3.14 with latest NVIDIA drivers (340.52).

Does anyone else have this issue? I've tried to Google it and it seems the culprit is in some change introduced in the newest NVIDIA drivers...

Take a look here:

especially the first post in red.

Roll back to 4.3.12 or earlier to get Virtualbox working again, or use 4.3.15 to help troubleshoot the glitch.

OK, I'm not sure that's related... Installing 4.3.15 doesn't help - 3D acceleration checkbox just wouldn't enable in the VM settings.

I will try rolling back to 4.3.12 too... but I think it had borked Guest Additions anyway.

OK, installing 4.3.12 didn't help either. So it has to do with the newest NVIDIA driver introduced incompatibility.

I've had this same problem for a while now, it remains with 4.3.16 / 4.3.17 and I would really like to see a fix also.

You won't get any help if all you do is post unsupported assertions or "me too" in obscure backwater topics. Use the proper discussion forum, e.g. "Discuss the 4.3.16 release", and provide a proper description along with robust diagnostics sufficient to let someone else reproduce your problem.
