VirtualBox 7.0.x 3D acceleration produces artifacts with Windows guest
| Reported by: | sercallegar | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Component: | 3D support | Version: | VirtualBox-7.0.2 |
| Keywords: | Cc: | ||
| Guest type: | Windows | Host type: | Linux |
Description
Using a Linux (manjaro) host with Intel Haswell graphics and X11 (not Wayland).
Just upgraded from 6.1 to 7.0 and tried to use a Windows 11 guest known to work well with 6.1.
- Initially the Windows 11 guest was not even starting;
- Disabling 3D acceleration made it start;
- Updating the Guest Additions allowed to re-enable 3D acceleration without boot failures however, there are all sort of visual artifacts and prominently, characters become unreadable.
I suspect this may be triggered by my specific graphics card or graphics stack.

I can confirm this error on Ubuntu hosts (Haswell i7-4770S, Intel IGP) Jammy, Neon, Focal on Windows 10 guests with 3D-acceleration ON. Not only artifacts, video-rendering is not running. Without 3D-acceleration is everything ok. This error is since Virtualbox 7.0.0. In v.6.1.40 there is everything OK. Please help!!!

3D Acceleration has rendered (no pun) Win11 guest unusable in VB 7.0.2. Applications such as Excel display only a solid white window with no interface. Start menu is oddly transparent as if all window decorations are missing. Tooltips are also invisible with a white outline border, etc.

This issue is still occurring with virtualbox 7.0.4 + GA 7.0.4.
Using the VBoxSVGA graphics controller.
3D Acceleration continues to be unusable in the Windows 11 guest.

Experiencing exactly the same issues on Kubuntu 22.10 host running Windows10 guest when VBoxSVGA with 3D Accelleration is enabled. Host GPU: Mesa Intel HD Graphics 4600


To a lesser extent, I still see artifacts on an Linux (kubuntu 22.04) host with Intel Gen10 graph (CometLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics])
