The VMWare SVGA3D driver is based on the Gallium3D driver framework (and comes as part of the Mesa driver collection), whereas the VirtualBox 3D driver is based on the Chromium OpenGL proxy tool. I don't think that has changed for either from first release until now. Regards, Michael -- ORACLE Deutschland B.V. & Co.
