 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?

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?

 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,
