You're trying to use 3D with a headless VM on some non-Windows OS, 
without saying what your host OS is. So it's impossible to help, because 
3D is heavily host OS dependent, especially for headless VMs. Also you 
didn't say which VirtualBox version you're using, as this isn't an 
official feature in any release, but will most likely work with 4.3.2.
