Public bug reported: Latest update in Ubuntu Precise beta 1 amd 64 broke ATI Binary Catalyst driver and now Virtualbox says that i have to disable 3D acceleration in guests machines because 3D acceleration in Host is not supported. At this time i was using the upstream kernel 3.3 and when i tried installing ATI drivers in kernel 3.2 of ubuntu precise the system wont boot. It freezes at startup. I think this is a major issue that i could deal by having other versions of the kernel installed. Opensource ATI drivers are fine but do not support 3D acceleration.
