3D acceleration not working on OSE

Description (Last modified by frank)

3D acceleration does not appear to be working on OSE. The checkbox is present, but marking it won't result in VBox.log including the usual information about OpenGL (e.g. "OpenGL Info: Render SPU: GL_VENDOR: blah").

I suspect it has something to do with incomplete handling of the OpenGLEnabled configuration setting. It is checked for, but there seems to be no code to enable it: 

$ rgrep OpenGLEnabled src/
src/VBox/Main/VMMDevInterface.cpp:    if (!CFGMR3AreValuesValid(pCfgHandle, "Object\0OpenGLEnabled\0crOpenGLEnabled\0"))
src/VBox/Main/VMMDevInterface.cpp:    rc = CFGMR3QueryBool(pCfgHandle, "OpenGLEnabled", &fEnabled);

Sorry, my wiki-fu sucks. This should be more readable: 

$ rgrep OpenGLEnabled src/
src/VBox/Main/VMMDevInterface.cpp:    if (!CFGMR3AreValuesValid(pCfgHandle, "Object\0OpenGLEnabled\0crOpenGLEnabled\0"))
src/VBox/Main/VMMDevInterface.cpp:    rc = CFGMR3QueryBool(pCfgHandle, "OpenGLEnabled", &fEnabled);

  • description changed.

Nothing sucks, there is even a Preview button.

Regarding your problem: See r16240. OpenGL was accidently disabled for the OSE tarball. This will be fixed with the next release. AFAICS the code you found is dead.
