Great, will a "beta" version be shipped with 3.2.10?

 

Or is there another way I can test this out?

Subject: Re: [vbox-dev] wddm driver

 

You're right, we already have a kind-of working wddm driver for 32bit Vista
& 7. The major advantage of wddm driver is that no system files replacement
is needed any more and thus no safe mode guest addition install is required.
Also Aero theme can now be enabled in guests.
The major concern so far is performance and we're working on it.
Alexey Eromenko already gave you a brief explanation on how guest 3d works.
I can only add that wddm driver still uses wined3d internally and translates
d3d requests to opengl commands being passed to host via "Chromium".

I keep seeing commits going into SVN regarding a WDDM driver for Windows? It
looks like it is getting quite a bit of attention, is that right? 

 

Another note, when doing 3D generation, is it using the host's graphics
card?  If so, how does that work when multiple virtual machines are running
at the same time?  

 

Thanks,
