[vbox-dev] Horrible (3D???) performance in F20 guests when it uses Gnome Shell (default)

I did uninstall 4.3.12 guest additions before trying the rpmfusion's guest

In particular, if the driver is not found in the mentioned path, OpenGL
will try to fall back to the software renderer called swrast_dri.so. This
is an indication that the DRI drivers are not installed correctly. source:
