[vbox-dev] Graphic device?
Hi, I am wondering why VB doesnt use the original video devices from QEMU (cirrus, vmware, vga), but it has its own PCI video device? What are the differences with QEMU video devices? Thanks, Jun ___ vbox-dev mailing list vbox-dev@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
Re: [vbox-dev] Linux Compiz fails on 2.1.0 ?
The documentation clearly says that OpenGL is currently only supported for Windows guests (and supported for all our hosts). Support for other guests is work-in-progress. Kind regards, Frank On Thursday 18 December 2008, Jun Koi wrote: 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.

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?

Hi, The manual of 2.1.0 still says that Enable 3D acceleration is in Advances tab, while it has been moved to General tab from this version. So that should be fixed. Thanks, Jun ___ vbox-dev mailing list vbox-dev@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev

[vbox-dev] OpenGL in 2.1.0?

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 :-) This will still take time and we cannot give you any ETA. Some Windows games have an option like -opengl which forces the application to use OpenGL instead of DirectX. How are you going to support DirectX for guests on Linux host? Will you translate it to OpenGL using Wine, or you go another way? Thanks, Jun ___ vbox-dev mailing list vbox-dev@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev

[vbox-dev] NAT/slirp issue?
I have a windows xp host PC that has two network interfaces, one is for internal local network without internet connection, the other can connect to internet. These two interfaces have 2 different IPs. Somehow, vbox vm (configured as NAT) running on this pc can NOT browse any internet websites, but it works for the local network. I checked the settings inside vm, the adapter and ip are correct, and there is traffice between this vm and the host. It seems somehow the vm is hooked to the internal network on host, rather than the one that can browse internet. I don't know how slirp works internally, but I assume it uses windows socket api to send/receive packets. Any chance that traffic is bounded to a specific interface?

Then have a look at the VBox.log file yourself. Search for 'NAT: ...' lines and have a look at lines which mention name servers. Please check if the correct name server is passed to the guest.

On Friday 19 December 2008, Huihong Luo wrote: Yes, you are right. From the vbox.log, I found those NAT: DNS lines, it indeed picked the wrong DNS server. It basically pick the DNS from the internal network, rather the interface that can browse internet. I also verified that IE works from vm is using ip address directly, so it's purely DNS issue. Perhaps, can perform some kind of checks, and pick the DNS that can resolve internet names? Yes, this is a long planned feature to solve this annoying bug. Thanks for your feedback, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
