I'm trying to get a Windows XP Guest on a Linux Host to use 3d acceleration. Is there anywhere I can find a document showing what the minimum host requirements are? I have a laptop with a ATI graphics card. I use the radeon driver and I can get compiz to work to some degree, so I thought I'd try 3d on vbox.
I have a working XP guest and a certain application that I'd like to see run (a game) but it never runs. I get a pop-up on the screen that says that drawing surfaces cannot be initialized, and that I should change my resolution to something lower, but the game still doesn't work at the lower res. I think the message is specific to that program, not to XP. I have tried changing the "video memory" to 128, and though the vbox still runs, the game does not. I am using vbox 3.0.2 and the VBoxGuestAdditions that came with that version. I have tried updating directx. Maybe I have misunderstood the entire problem. If so hopefully I have come to the right place and someone can set me straight. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
