Description
This ticket is used to track development of 3d acceleration support.
I have committed my initial OpenGL guest support to the public SVN tree. (http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/HostServices/SharedOpenGL &
http://www.virtualbox.org/browser/trunk/src/VBox/Additions/WINNT/Graphics/OpenGL)
Current status:
- communication framework between guest and host is present
- simple OpenGL samples are functional; they display their rendered output in an external window on the host for testing purposes)
- supported are only Windows guests combined with a Windows host
- not all OpenGL commands are implemented; most simple ones are
Plans:
- Linux host and guest OpenGL support
- Add OpenGL extensions as reported by the host OS
- Direct3D emulation using OpenGL
We are looking for external developers with an interest to help us out to complete this work.
