Re: [vbox-dev] is 2D/3D acceleration supported in OSE?

Thanks for the investigation. I'll debug it here on my side, although I'm sure it works here when installed under C:\Program Files\Sun\VirtualBox\, i.e. path with spaces.
Re your second question: yes, it always use OpenGL currently even on windows hosts.
This allows making a unified cross-platform engine for 2D acceleration that works on Linix and Mac hosts as well.
Perhaps someday in the future we'll have a DirectX-based backend for windows.

yes, it's XP guest on Vista host.

I debugged a bit, the invocation of VBoxTestOGL.exe, (for example, in following code)

bool VBoxVHWAInfo::checkVHWASupport()

always exit with status 1 (monitored by procmon.exe) if the path contains a space. Works well after removing the space, exits 0.

If I just invoke VBoxTestOGL.exe from command line by hand, e..g

"VBoxTestOGL.exe -test 2D" it works even from a path with spaces

another question, since this test exe checks OpenGL, does that mean the acceleration always uses OpenGL even on windows host where DirectX is available?

Thanks,

- Huihong

Which host platform are you running on?

Huihong Luo usually runs Windows-on-Windows.
