This is what you should see if everything is supported from VirtualBox's standpoint: # VBoxTestOGL --test 2D --test 3D --log vboxtest.log # grep Testing vboxtest.log 00:00:00.001 Testing 3D Support: 00:00:00.040 Testing 3D Succeeded! 00:00:00.040 Testing 2D Support: 00:00:00.065 Testing 2D Succeeded! >> What graphics hardware do you use?

Also, what type >> of acceleration are you using for your X driver (check > % cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i nvidia Mine (http://people.freebsd.org/~scf/Xorg.0.log) is mostly the same except I have this: (II) Oct 06 10:21:03 NVIDIA: Reserving 768.00 MB of virtual memory for indirect memory (II) Oct 06 10:21:03 NVIDIA: access. Also, I edited the x11/nvidia-driver port to use v256.53 of the driver. It is the first truly supported FreeBSD amd64 driver from nvidia. > How did you setup your xorg.conf? or nvidia-settings?? My xorg.conf: http://people.freebsd.org/~scf/xorg.conf You can ignore the Non-HAL and mouse stuff. > I don't know how to setup to use EXA instead of XAA. > The 'Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"' are affected for intel and radeon > driver, not for nvidia. True. Ignore my comment on that. Sean -- scf@FreeBSD.org
