[vbox-dev] 3D acceleration via VirtualBox API

Hi,

what are the options for a VirtualBox API client to implement the 3D
acceleration in it's own process? Looking at the API documentation it seems
that IFramebuffer::notify3DEvent is meant for this but it currently only
has one event type - VBOX3D_NOTIFY_EVENT_TYPE_VISIBLE_3DDATA. How does the
3D acceleration work, for example, on Windows guest? The user mode driver
forwards the calls to the host system? If so, what communication channel is
used? Any chances that I can attach to it and process the calls myself?

Best Regards,
Rudolfs Bundulis
