No GL acceleration running ArchLinux guest under MacOSX host using VirtualBox

[k-s]

This is a cross bug to ​https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36746?project=1&opened=14878

Description

Running ArchLinux as a guest OS from inside a !MacOS X running VirtualBox fails to load DRI, AIGLX and has no !OpenGL acceleration.

From the logs it seems that VirtualBox is not DRI2 capable, but I'm unsure if that's the case or if my system is not configured properly.

Additional info

• Host:
  • OS: !MacOS X 10.8.4
  • VirtualBox version: 4.2.16 r86992
  • VirtualBox Guest Additions: 4.2.16 r86992

The log output you gave is expected on systems where 3D is working as we do not interface properly to the system 3D interfaces. Could you please say what other symptoms you see of 3D failing? For instance does glxinfo in the guest system show that you are using software rendering?
