Arch as a virtual guest doesn't have the hardware acceleration

VirtualBox VM has 3D acceleration flag.

$ glxinfo | grep "renderer string"
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.7, 128 bits)

Both VBoxService and VBoxClient processes are running. glxgears barely moves.

FreeBSD VM on the same host has renderer string "Chromium" and acceleration works fine.

Re: Arch as a virtual guest doesn't have the hardware acceleration

I have the same issue.

vboxguest, vboxsf and vboxvideo modules are loaded. VBoxService is running.

xorg logs says:

[    10.469] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[    10.469] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[    10.562] (II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer
[    10.562] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
