[vbox-users] OpenGL and VBoxHeadless

2009-06-17 Thread James Lucas
Is it possible to have OpenGL enabled on a Windows Guest/RHEL Host when started via VBoxHeadless? The machine starts correctly when run from the GUI and OpenGL works, when starting from the VBoxHeadless command line I get 00:00:00.160 OpenGL Warning: Render SPU: no display, aborting 00:00:00.1

Hi Frank, In our case we use various software packages that can use OpenGL (eg Matlab 3D), all of these machines are accessed through RDP (VBoxHeadless). When I ran benchmarks between OpenGL enabled and disabled directly through the GUI, I got a performance gain of 4X when OpenGL was enabled.

Hrrrmmm, maybe my understanding of how the OpenGL integration works. Could you please elaborate? My thoughts would of been that the Virtual graphics card presented by the GAs is OpenGL enabled. This would then capture guest calls to OpenGL, send them from the guest to the host, the host would send

I have no questions, Frank. Just an observation that these are some pretty cool enhancements you're offering. I'll give the beta a whirl on a test-bed box next week. -- Cheers, SDM -- a 21st Century Schizoid Man Systems Theory music project: on MySpace: on GarageBand: on Last FM: on CDBaby: CD
