[vbox-dev] OpenGL Additions

[Ranando King]

I noticed that when I looked throught the code. That stuff is a nightmare to
trace through!!!  But anyway, I 've been using a demo/benchmark program I 
found at http://www.glexcess.com/defaultn.asp to test how well the 
implementation is working. As of tonight's SVN, I haven't been able to 
reproduce the problem I mentioned. 

At the same time, I'm getting very low frame rates. By low, I mean less than 
10 in many cases on this application when I run it full screen at 
1280x1024x32. I did notice something when I ran it at 640x480x32. It seemed 
to run relatively smooth for short periods, then slow down. At the same time, 
the fps meter would show high frame rates during the slow period and low 
rates during the smooth period. I guess I still don't have the OpenGL 
extensions configured properly. I followed the instructions from bug report 
475 in my attempt to configure.

So if someone will please list the instructions for configuring the OpenGL 
additions after building them, I would greatly appreciate it.
