3D support not working on OS X 10.6.1 host with 64-bit kernel

Reported by: Jason Oster Owned by:
Component: 3D support Version: VirtualBox 3.0.10
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: other Host type: other

Description (last modified by Frank Mehnert)

Simply put, 3D support in VirtualBox on a Mac OS X 10.6.1 host does not work when the host is booted into the 64-bit kernel. (My guest is Windows XP SP3, with the VirtualBox extensions properly installed.)

Booting the host into the 32-bit kernel, the 3D support *does* work as expected.

See attached screenshot; taking notice of the kernel reported by uname, OS X version, status of 3D support in Virtual Box, and the 3D support reported by dxdiag(!) and GPU Caps Viewer(!) -- no DirectX 3D support, no OpenGL 3D support (OpenGL version should be reported as 2.0 when 3D is working).

3D support is still missing under 64bit Snow Leopard. We are working on this & it will be added in the next major release of VirtualBox.

Thanks poetzsch,

I just tried VirtualBox 3.1.0 (with the new guest additions installed) and it crashes again. This time when starting a program that requests access to 3D acceleration. I can't be sure if this is because I installed the guest additions over top of the old versions, without uninstalling first. (Should I file a new bug for this?)

Attaching the crash log...
