I've run into a problem trying to get the 3D acceleration working. Enabling the checkbox in my WinXP VM causes the VM to crash immediately on startup with:
<escaflowne/pts/1> (2 ~): VirtualBox
Type Manifest File: /home/jandrese/.VirtualBox/xpti.dat
nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering begins.
nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering succeeded
nNCL: registering deferred (0)

The log files are sadly not useful:

I do get an error box popup, but I don't know how useful it is:
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine XP.
No error info.
Result Code: NS_ERROR_CALL_FAILED (0x800706BE)
Component: ProgressProxy
Interface: IProgress {a163c98f-8635-4aa8-b770-a9941737f3ef}
Anybody have any clue what might be causing this problem? The VM works fine if I turn off the 3D support checkbox, so this isn't a showstopper, but it is something I would like to get working if I could.
