[vbox-dev] virtualbox 5.0.17 3d question

Tue Apr 5 18:50:11 GMT 2016

Thanks for the attachment. I added a 00-glamor.conf file per:
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/Glamor/

which contains

Section "Module"
  Load "dri2"
  Load "glamoregl"
EndSection
Section "Device"
  Identifier "vboxvideo"
  Driver "vboxvideo"
  Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection

Now my Xorg.0.log file does show the module loading but does NOT turn
acceleration on per:
...
[    16.540] (II) LoadModule: "glamoregl"
[    16.541] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglamoregl.so
[    16.569] (II) Module glamoregl: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
[    16.569]  compiled for 1.15.0, module version = 0.6.0
[    16.569]  ABI class: X.Org ANSI C Emulation, version 0.4
....
[    16.592] (WW) modesetting(0): Option "AccelMethod" is not used

Not sure where to go from here.. any tips appreciated. Not sure if the GA
installer was tested on Ubuntu 14.04? Either way Chrome still doesn't
draw....

Thanks.
Jim
