digip Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php...818&start=0 Virtual Box to offer OpenGL and DirectX support for high quality graphic support and better gaming in a VM. Not that you would want to game in a VM, but to test something with full support for your GPU, it would be a nice option.. Windows guests: ability to use Direct3D 8/9 applications / games (experimental) Support for OpenGL 2.0 for Windows, Linux and Solaris guests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 I just think any VM that makes better use of the GPU is always a plus. Especially when tring new linux distros and getting them to work properly because your stuck at 800x600 vesa mode in vmware because you can't get vmtools installed properly.

h3%5kr3w Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I'll admit that this is pretty sweet. specially when you want to check something like compiz, or see if we can start working out those bugs with nvidia drivers and flash (as I also have this problem.. and sick and tired of waiting for either nvidia or macromedia to jump on the damn issue..) Whoa! Just thought of something that made my head spin.... MVMMORPGS MULTIPLE VIRTUAL Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games... How much longer can you make it?

deleted Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 As digip said, Im going to like not having an 800x600 View on a Linux Distro I want to play with. I also wonder if it will support the 3D Graphics in Windows Vista/7, it will be nice to have them in a VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 BTW, hell I rarely have any trouble installing vbox tools in linux distros (well except for slitaz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
