Description

This ticket is used to track development of 3d acceleration support.

I have committed my initial OpenGL guest support to the public SVN tree. (http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/HostServices/SharedOpenGL &

http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Additions/WINNT/Graphics/OpenGL)

Current status:

  • communication framework between guest and host is present
  • simple OpenGL samples are functional; they display their rendered output in an external window on the host for testing purposes)
  • supported are only Windows guests combined with a Windows host
  • not all OpenGL commands are implemented; most simple ones are

Plans:

  • Linux host and guest OpenGL support
  • Add OpenGL extensions as reported by the host OS
  • Direct3D emulation using OpenGL

We are looking for external developers with an interest to help us out to complete this work.
