I've never got if, after enabling the 3d acceleration in virtualbox and installing the guest additions in safe mode, you still need to install the original drivers (catalyst in my case). Do know that by chance?
View 1 RepliesI'm using openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. My graphics card is an Asus EAH 5450 with an ATI radeon HD 5450 GPU. I'm using the opensource radeon driver. When I open sysinfo:/ in Konqueror, I see the following info:
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
Model:
2D driver: radeon
3D driver: swrast (No 3D Acceleration) (7.8.2))
How do I switch on 3d acceleration without installing the proprietary driver from ATI/AMD? I know this must be possible because on another computer, I have also openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 and an ATI radeon HD 4350 installed and it has 3d enabled directly after installation of openSuse with the opensource radeon driver.
I just installed the ATI Catalyst drivers for my Radeon HD3200, and upon reboot my mouse has disappeared. I can still use it, it's just that there's no pointer on the screen. In addition, moving windows and loading/scrolling any window is very, very slow.I also noticed there's no entry for the mouse in xorg.confI have run aticonfig --intial and aticonfig --initial -f, to no avail.

Problems were found which would prevent the Guest Additions from installing.
Just install xubuntu today and I saw the beautiful "xubuntu" loading screen image when the computer boots up. I also see this screen when the laptop shuts down. However after installing the proprietary Catalyst drivers for my laptop, that boot image was replaced with just a plain text "XUBUNTU 11.04" and a few lines of text. It looks ugly everytime I boot the laptop.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI did it, I don't know exactly what I did, but OpenSuse 11.4 only boots to CLI when I fire it up using vbox 4.0.10. I was not able to attached a screenshot, I got an error saying that I did not have sufficient rights or something.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Vbox 4.0.4_OSE installed on my 11.4/KDE4.7 Laptop with Win7 and WinXP VMs installed. Generally runs well, although the Win7 VM seems to lock up on occasion if I ignore it for too long. Compared to having to reboot to Win7 to do the few things still stuck on Windoze, it is a GREAT solution.
Question: I have seen several forum items related to difficulty with dual boot systems and the installation of Win7SP1, regarding SP1s checking the MBR for the Win7 boot loader. Has anyone done a SP1 update to a VM on Vbox? It is sort of unclear what SP1 might see in the VM disk container associated with the VM. Since the initial load process for a new VM is time consuming, I thought I would ask first before blowing up my otherwise working Vbox system and then having to reload from scratch.
launching vBox lately pops-up this; but if I allow it to go ahead, I get this.. : the window has no end (!), no scroll bars nor any further info. If I first uninstall in Yast, will I lose all of my machines? Up until now these periodic updates have been a breeze, only sometimes needing a vbox setup afterwards to tweak the kernel
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to run my vmachines in virtualbox with no success so I decided to install upgraded packages for upgraded kernel, this means to install them from Virtualization-kernel-HEAD repo.The error is about that known issue where the kernel module can't start.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed recently opensuse 11.3 and then Virtualbox from Sun Webpage. I have a local printer connected to one of the usb ports. With 11.2, VBox saw perfectly that printer and I could connect normally to it. Now, VBox sees the printer: if I click on the usb icon in the status bar it appears, but dimmed, and I cannot connect to it. I tried to disconnect and reconnect the printer physically, but nothing changed.

Has anyone successfully installed the x64 on VBox? Is there a different way to install the x64, because I don't think VBox can process this version. The few problems I have are:
1) it freezes during Auto Configuration.
2) freezes during boot initialization.
3) after reboot it keeps prompting me to complete a failed install, and doesn't matter if I accept to complete or not, I have the same problem.
4) freezes randomly executing system programs.
I run openSUSE 11.2 on my notebook using VirtualBox 3.0.6_OSE r52128. Recently, I installed the guest additions on my Windows XP guest system (VBoxGuestAdditions_3.0.6.iso).
Before this installation I was able to use a screen resolution of 1024x768 in the guest system. Having installed the guest additions the best result I get is 800x600.
The resolution I'd like to get is 1280x800 which is the default setting of the host system. The graphic device used in my system is an Intel 965 GME/GLE.
I am running OpenSuse 11.2 64 - I have vmware Player and Vbox loaded and working fine - I have XP running in each VM - I have a Creative Live cam and was accessing it in each of the VM's, because I can't access it in Suse. This worked very well until recently. I received updates for Suse, one of which was a kernel update - I installed and rebooted. All of a sudden my time to boot took for ever - however - once up and running every thing seemed fine. After a few boots the system started booting normally and the video from my live cam in both VM's is garbled and and essentially not working right.
Video seems to work correctly in all other areas - I removed the creative software and reinstalled in each of my VM's No change. One last thing - I recently (a week or so before my problems) installed an Nvidia video card. I previously used on board video (also Nvidia) I had no problems either in the VM's or Suse until the kernel update. I have removed Vbox and reloaded and set it up (/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup) problem still there.
My OS is:Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop x86_64
New Video is: G96[GeForce 9500 GT] Driver - nvidia

I have a dual boot set with XP Pro and 11.2 Is there a way to boot the already installed XP Pro as a guest in VBox? There are many occasions when I would like to jump into XP from 11.2 with the VM. Searches can't seem to find any link to this specifically but this may just be me and the terminology involved.

I Just loaded 11.2 64 bit, initially the kernel was "default", however, after I installed my Nvidia drivers it changed to desktop, I'm not sure I understand? In GRUB my screen lists it as desktop. Is "default" somewhere? Was it replaced? Things seem to be working alright in most cases although I'm having inordinate problems with "virtual Box" and Vmware server. In Vbox the kernel module won't start.

I opened a bug for this one in December, but it's not getting much attention as yet, so I thought maybe the crew here could take a whack at it. Here's the text, slightly modified with minor clarifying updates.
Description of problem: When booting from CD burned with Fedora-14-x86_64-netinst.iso, grub starts but when handing off to kernel, text appears in upper left corner of screen and system locks up, requiring power-off to be performed to return functionality.
In testing, grub itself has always worked without visible flaw, and the various built-in functions are accessible (menu editing, command line, etc.). It's just once tries to go any further that it breaks.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): unknown
How reproducible: Always reproducible
Steps to Reproduce:Download Fedora-14-x86_64-netinst.iso and burn to disc Select optical drive from Dell Latitude E6510 notebook from boot options menu Allow boot process to proceed
Actual results: System lock after displaying the following text:
Code:
Additional info: System is running BIOS revision A06 (latest as of today). CPU is Intel Core i7 Q720, and memory total is 4GB. Grub identifies 640K lower and 3,339,004K upper memory (commas inserted for clarity). Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit installation performed properly in UEFI mode.
I can't enable 3d acceleration because when I enable the Desktop effects, and I exit the window, they are not active.. I enter in the desktop effects configuration again, and I can see that the option "enable" is uncheck.. I'm a newbie.. Can you explain me how do I get the driver for my Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT (512 MB of Graphic RAM)? Do I have enough power to run 3d?

I have a AGP Radeon HD3650 RV635. I've tried using the ATI Catalyst 9.12 drivers, and they work ok with 2D/3D DECCELERATION. 3D works but it's extremely slow, maximizing a window takes 10secs, videos skip when played in fullscreen. Disabling Compiz doesn't help much, in 2D mode, windows redraw slowly.
I'm trying to install the open radeonhd drivers, and so far, it's booting into gnome, but it's barely usable. There is no 2D acceleration (log says ShadowFB only) and glxinfo reports:

Also under CPU info the speed switches between 800MHz, 1400MHz and the normal 2.6Ghz (x4 for the Quad Core). Is something wrong or does it shows how much the system is using current?

The video acceleration is clearly not enabled since I can practically watch each pixel drawn. (Well, a bit hyperbolic, but really slow.) Another system, same hardware, had this slow video problem and at one point required a complete OS re-installation. The slow video refresh went away. So there is some way to configure the graphics+display to enable acceleration at install time.
I run OpenSuse 11.2. I installed Catalyst 10.2 on a new installation only to lose my cursor on boot up (and the 'task bar' was not extended to the length of the screen) I re-installed the o/s and installed Catalyst 10.3 but with the same result. I've spent hours trying to figure out the problem but to no avail. My system is as follows:

I can't remove my old 10.6 catalyst drivers. First I have removed both fglrx packages installed from ATI repo. Then I removed the xorg file, run mkinitrd and finally a reboot to start again with radeon drivers. (fglrx module is not running anymore). After that I run the 10.8 installation script, aticonfig --initial, mkinitrd and finally the reboot. Now the fglrx module is running but when I open de catalyst control center the information tab shows catalyst 10.6 drivers version (8.741 package version). Radeon HD2400 + openSUSE 11.3. Is there something else I should remove before installing catalyst drivers again?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to do it on several machines, so I wrote a script. You don't have to reboot but you must exit X. Use it at your own risk
