Re: [vbox-dev] Announce: VirtualBox 2.1.0 released!

2008-12-17 Thread Huihong Luo
Hi,
 
Can you point out what svn revision # is this release roughly based on?
 
I'd like to check out the code from svn. (as you mentioned before, I know the 
source code is provided as tar ball from the download.)
 
Thanks,
 
Huihong

Hi,

today Sun released VirtualBox 2.1.0. The following major new features were
added:

 * Support for hardware virtualization (VT-x and AMD-V) on Mac OS X hosts
 * Support for 64-bit guests on 32-bit host operating systems (experimental;
   see user manual, chapter 1.6, 64-bit guests, page 16)
 * Added support for Intel Nehalem virtualization enhancements (EPT and
   VPID; see user manual, chapter 1.2, Software vs. hardware virtualization
   (VT-x and AMD-V), page 10))
 * Experimental 3D acceleration via OpenGL (see user manual, chapter 4.8,
   Hardware 3D acceleration (OpenGL), page 66)
 * Experimental LsiLogic and BusLogic SCSI controllers (see user manual,
   chapter 5.1, Hard disk controllers: IDE, SATA (AHCI), SCSI, page 70)
 * Full VMDK/VHD support including snapshots (see user manual, chapter 5.2,
   Disk image files (VDI, VMDK, VHD), page 72)
 * New NAT engine with significantly better performance, reliability and ICMP
   echo (ping) support (bugs #1046, #2438, #2223, #1247)
 * New Host Interface Networking implementations for Windows and Linux hosts
   with easier setup (replaces TUN/TAP on Linux and manual bridging on
   Windows)

Apart from these new features we fixed/improved a bunch of items. Please
have a look at

  http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Changelog

for more details. The binaries and the manual can be downloaded here:

Have fun,

Frank

[vbox-dev] DirectX support?

2008-12-17 Thread Jun Koi
Hi,

Could anybody inform us users the current progress of supporting
DirectX in VirtualBox?

If I am not wrong, VirtualBox has a great chance to be the 1st VM
solution that supports DirectX?

Cant wait to play D3D games in VB :-)

Thanks,
Jun

Re: [vbox-dev] DirectX support?

2008-12-17 Thread Dmitriy Kazimirov
Hi,VMware Workstation 6.5.0(and .1) arleady support DirectX 9
(and supported (almost unusable) DirectX 8 starting from 4.5)
Parallels Workstation 3.0 on Mac also supports DirectX 9
btw, Parallels in fact supports OpenGL AND used Wine's D3D-to-OpenGL
translator to support DirectX, may be such thing could be done here too?Or
even their patch (provided to wine project) be used directly?
Question is OpenGL support in VirtualBox mature ENOUGH(i.e. OpenGL 2.0,
GLSL,etc) for this?

[vbox-dev] Linux Compiz fails on 2.1.0 ?

2008-12-17 Thread Jun Koi
Hi,

I tried to enable Compiz on Ubuntu 8.10, but only got the message like
Effects could not be enabled. Is that expected, given that I already
enabled 3D acceleration? Anybody experienced the same problem??

(I can confirm that I already installed Guest additions for Linux, and
vboxvideo driver is already loaded by X.org.)

Another question: From inside the Linux guest, how can I verify that
3D acceleration is already enable?

Thanks,
Jun

Re: [vbox-dev] Linux Compiz fails on 2.1.0 ?

2008-12-17 Thread Jun Koi
I forget to say that I run 2.1.0 on Linux host (Ubuntu 8.10), and
tried to enable Compiz in Linux guest (also Ubuntu 8.10), but failed
as described below.

Besides, Compiz in the host works well.

Thanks,
Jun
