3D acceleration in VirtualBox VMs?
Sat, 03/23/2013 - 04:23
Is there something special I have to do to enable 3D acceleration in VirtualBox VMs? I checked the "Enable 3D Acceleration" box in the Settings menu for the VM, but I don't get 3D acceleration in the VM.

Does your guest OS have Virtualbox Guest Additions installed? In Trisquel, they are the virtualbox-guest-* packages.
P.S.: This is mentioned in a VirtualBox manual which mentions non-free software, though not for GNU/Linux users (the present case, I presume): http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#guestadd-video
P.P.S.: I don't know if VirtualBox's usual installing of guest additions -- Devices -> Install Guest Additions -- is either FaiF or available in Trisquel.
