Does VirtualBox support 3D Acceleration in Windows 2000 yet?

[Matt Hazard]

Last year I wasn't able to enable 3D Acceleration in Windows 2000 in VirtualBox. When I posted about it, I was told that VirtualBox didn't support 3D Acceleration for Windows 2000 yet. I was wondering if that would ever happen, or if it has happened yet.

Thank you.

I don't expect that the priority given to Win2K bugfixes will have increased since last year, but you can only test it and see.

But why should you care? Quoting from your last post :-

SOLVED

Just installed VMware Workstation 10. Works perfectly.

I believe that's called burning your bridges as you leave...

For Windows 2000 guests, adding 3D support is highly unlikely unless someone either contributes the code or pays Oracle to do it.

What is there that needs 3D, runs on Windows 2000 but not XP?

Actually, the user manual suggests that Win2K support is already there, though according to Matt it doesn't work. But, perhaps it's the user manual that's wrong.
