11111	VirtualBox forces Mac laptops to use discrete GPU => Fixed in SVN	cap10morgan		"VirtualBox forces Mac laptops to activate their discrete GPUs, thus shortening battery life. I could understand this if there were a 3D accelerated guest OS running, but it also happens when a headless guest is running or even when no guests are running.

VirtualBox should not force the discrete GPU on when not running 3D accelerated guests.
