poor video quality in virtualbox vm

I installed virtualbox-guest-utils. I have the modules vboxguest, vboxsf and vboxvideo loaded. I have VBoxClient-all & in my .xinitrc. I see 'direct rendering: Yes' in the output below (which I think means 3D acceleration is enabled) :

glxinfo | grep rendering
OpenGL Warning: glFlushVertexArrayRangeNV not found in mesa table
OpenGL Warning: glVertexArrayRangeNV not found in mesa table
OpenGL Warning: glCombinerInputNV not found in mesa table

OpenGL Warning: glGetFenceivNV not found in mesa table
OpenGL Warning: glIsFenceNV not found in mesa table
OpenGL Warning: glSetFenceNV not found in mesa table
OpenGL Warning: glTestFenceNV not found in mesa table
direct rendering: Yes

What does the rest of the output mean? I first noticed that I get that same output while running a simple program I wrote with sfml1.6 from AUR. I ignored it at first but I have found that if I have more than 3 or 4 sprites the FPS drops below 10.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks!

Re: poor video quality in virtualbox vm

How much video memory did you add to your guest OS?
