Ever wanted Compiz or your favorite FPS in VirtualBox... Now you can. This tutorial will show you how to configure 3d Acceleration for Ubuntu 10.04 (Ultimate Edition 2.7). The only catch is your hardware will have to support VirtualBox AND 3D effects. Step1: Setup 3D Acceleration 1a Select your Virtual Machine and Click Setting 1b Click on Display, then set your Video Memory to 12b MB, and then enable 2d and 3d acceleration 1c Click OK Step 2: Installing Guest Additions 2a Start and let the Virtual Box boot up 2b Click on Devices and select Install guest Additions 2c In the Ubuntu Virtual Machine, Click on Places and select VBOXADDITIONS 2d Click on Open AutoRun Promt and Click Run 2e Enter your Password 2f Let Guest Additions Install and Restart Step 3: Start Compiz 3a Goto System > Preferences > Appearence > Visual Effects 3c Click on Extras and install and configure Compiz the way you want it. Done. Now you can run 3d acceleration running Ubuntu in VirtualBox. My favorite effect... Water. This will allow you to do the Cube and most 3D effect. The last clip is my to-the-point video on the subject. |
