3Dconnection Space Navigator doesn't work

[steamer]

3Dconnection fails to initialize player. I have the impression, that 3Dacceleration does not work properly. I attach screen shots and dxdiag info file.

There is call for help from the developers for end-users to pitch in helping with this: 3D support for X11 guests.

Just to summarise the situation: we do not currently have free developer time (as in developers with the required skills who are not already taken up with other work) to investigate this bug, much as we understand that it is annoying to the people affected. This situation might change, but that is not something we can promise. Of course, I quite understand that if this means that something else fits any individual's requirements better than VirtualBox then it is a sensible solution to use that instead.

However, the fact that VirtualBox is open source means that users who are interested have another option to get changes made, by doing the work themselves or crowd-sourcing the work. If you go this way of course, please communicate with us before starting and while doing the work, as we hate to see work go to waste due to misunderstandings like mismatches with our development style. Though this is more a fix than a feature, so likely to be easier to integrate.
