VirtualBox: No OpenGL acceleration?
Not exactly sure what's going on here, but whenever I try to use an OpenGL app (or a Direct3D app w/ wined3d), it doesn't start. At all.
Guest is Windows XP Home SP2. Host is Arch i686. I've given the guest 32mb VRAM and 3d acceleration, and installed the guest additions. I have an nvidia graphics card, using the proprietary nvidia driver. Specifically, 9800GT.
There is always something better.

Re: VirtualBox: No OpenGL acceleration?
Try giving some more to the video, some games needs at least 64Mb, and run dxdiag to test the acceleration.
Here is a list of what is working and what is not:

I assume you are using the virtualbox_bin from AUR?

Re: VirtualBox: No OpenGL acceleration?
Yes, I'm using the AUR virtualbox.
I have assigned the VM 128mb of VRAM, and was previously giving it 32mb.
dxdiag also crashes outright, no drwatson dialog or what have you.

Re: VirtualBox: No OpenGL acceleration?
That is strange... are you a member of the appropriate groups,(video,vboxusers) and does OpenGL work on the host?

If it stopped working after an upgrade, you should reinstall the guest additions.

Re: VirtualBox: No OpenGL acceleration?
OpenGL works on the host. I have been running World of Warcraft in Wine for a while now...
This is the first time I've dealt with VirtualBox, Procyon, so I haven't done any updates.

Re: VirtualBox: No OpenGL acceleration?
This may be a stupid question. but you've checked that box that says something like "enable 3d acceleration for the host" in the machine settings for your VM?
