My machine has a GeForce 8800GTX on it. I'm using the nVidia binary drivers and kernel module. > > nvidia0: on vgapci0 > > glxinfo lists 373 lines of info (including over two hundred supported modes) including: > > OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation > OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8800 GTX/PCI/SSE2 > OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 256.53 > OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler Can you give the 260.19.29 version of the NVIDIA driver a try? It's a stable version and there's a problem report to update the nvidia driver that hasn't been committed yet. This is what mine shows for glxinfo: OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 460/PCI/SSE2 OpenGL version string: 4.1.0 NVIDIA 260.19.29 OpenGL shading language version string: 4.10 NVIDIA via Cg compiler That's about the only idea I have. The opengl that your card supports is a major rev behind what mine does. I'm not sure what version VirtualBox requires. Sincerely, Rusty Nejdl Links: ------ [1] mailto:rnejdl@ringofsaturn.com
