Here is a patch that adds 2D acceleration. I am not sure if the VirtualBox_LIBS.freebsd line is needed or not, but it does not cause any apparent regressions. I tested this with the Nvidia driver, and it shows improvement within the VM. I do not know how other drivers will work. EXA may be required over XAA.

If the patch does not make it through the mailing list filter, it can also be found here:

Thanks great work! (With guest os XP and Win7, it looks like working, maybe... At least 2D checkbox is there)

You are welcome.

I did test to check 2D acceleration effect with this patch, and 2D benchmarks shows about the same index. No effect appears. I want to know that this 2D acceleration feature works for what and thats effect actually. Someone has any ideas?

Did you install the guest additions experimental drivers to support 3D? What graphics hardware do you use? I have an Nvidia 8800 GTS. I do not know how well this option works for other hardware. Also, what type of acceleration are you using for your X driver (check /var/log/Xorg.0.log). EXA may be required over XAA. At least, some type of acceleration is needed.

I am new to this option, so that is all I can surmise.
