I've been testing vbox 3d pass-through, and if I use metacity as a window
manger then running glxgears -info shows:

GL_RENDERER   = Chromium
GL_VERSION    = 2.1 Chromium 1.9
GL_VENDOR     = Humper

So things seem to be working, but gnome3 / gnome-shell does not work ?

Sorry, another slow response, and sorry too that it will not be a very
satisfactory response.  What you are pointing out is a known problem
with our 3D.  It only works for X11 clients, not for Wayland.

I was sort off expecting that already and tried with X11 (which gnome3
still supports just fine), but that does not work either.

This is
fixable in theory, but has been so far down the priority list for so
long that we have officially declared it as user contribution only[1].
In fact, as soon as I get round to it I will disable 3D support for
Fedora guests altogether, as it is not reliable.

With this I assume you mean removing the 3d accel checkbox in device
settings, because it already is off by default, right ?

Our 3D detection
mechanism at start-up is too slow as compared to the Fedora log-in
screen appearing, and often prevents log-in altogether.

Hmm can you elaborate a bit on this? This sounds like something which
is worthwhile fixing.

Note I've also tried booting into runlevel 3 and then doing "startx"
this also does not work, maybe I first need to start a none gnome-3
session, run glxgears there and then try startx  with a gnome3-session,
or does the slow detection get redone every time ?

Regards,

Hans
