| #2939 | fixed | Suddenly unable to start 64Bit SuSE | ||
| Description |
A few weeks ago i was able to start and run SLES 10 SP2 x86_64 within VirtualBox running on Windows Vista 64 Ultimate. Now, i get a Guru Meditation error as soon as the kernel is going to be loaded. When i chose the failsafe option it is loading and running ok. When i disable AMD-V within Virtualbox the kernel is loading but says "Your CPU does not support long mode. Use a 32bit distribution." |

| #2940 | fixed | VirtualBox should support Direct3D through WineD3D | ||
| Description |
Currently, Wine makes Direct3D apps work on Linux by wrapping the Direct3D in OpenGL. This code can be reused in VirtualBox to add Direct3D support to the already working OpenGL acceleration system. The following DLLs from Wine need to be compiled and added to the guest OS:
These DLLs would be shipped and installed with the guest additions. Currently, these DLLs can be produced manually by following directions posted on the Wine wiki. By installing these DLLs on a native (host) Windows system, one can successfully use Direct3D applications that are wrapped in OpenGL. (Reference) There is still some work to be done. In my testing, Direct3D applications still do not run correctly when these DLLs are added to the guest system. However, they do report that Direct3D is supported (without these DLLs present, they claim that Direct3D acceleration is unavailable), but fail upon initialisation. Most of the heavy work is done -- the Wine project has been wrapping Direct3D games for years, and VirtualBox has some awesome OpenGL support. All that is needed now is to make WineD3D play nice with VirtualBox, and we will have Direct3D support on Windows guests. Binaries built straight from the Wine 1.1.10 source are available for download. If anybody has success with these DLLs, please speak up! See also |

| #2953 | fixed | Virtualbox 2.1.0, Bitdefender 2009 IS and virus scanning | ||
| Description |
I have a clean Windows XP Pro 32bit install with SP3 and patches to this date running inside VirtualBox 2.1.0. I installed BitDefender 2009 IS successfully and performed an update. However when it tries to scan the disc for viruses the entire VM crashes, no error just locks up, mouse pointer as it was for the last task. The VirtualBox control windows is operational. The VM has to be turned off forcibly to regain control. Problem also occurs is just selecting a single file for scanning. |
