Although Virtualbox 3D graphics support in Ubuntu is something you can
"dream" about, I would prefer a "keep it simple" solution.
3D graphics support for Unix users with VirtualBox would require: SRSS,
SUN VDI, VirtualBox, Unix.
From a TCO point of view I would prefer just SRSS on Ubuntu if that
could also support the 3D graphics.

Once there was a way.......
The sun shared Visualization software made use of local GPU and sent
ALP directly to the sunray.....
I had just found it on the Sun website, got it working in the lab
(dead easy) and was trying to make the business case to add support to
our fog... and sun killed the project :-(
It still appears to be available for download. and (for native Linux
or Solaris sessions either the SRSS server itself or another machine
that onward connected to (ssh -X worked) that could route packets
directly to your sunray.
Now the feature that Virtual-box has where it can pass through to the
local GPU, added to Ubuntu VM, and you could have Google earth on a
VDI solution.... (just dreaming)
Of course that is a nice Unix desktop, not this nasty windows stuff :-)
