  • [robatino] I'm using VirtualBox with a gnome-shell-capable host. Hardware passthrough gnome shell works on my F15 and F16 guests. Assuming that it should be faster than software rendering, does it get used automatically when possible? I ask because my F17 and Rawhide guests seem MUCH slower than F15 and F16, esp. in graphical mode and I'm not sure how it's doing the rendering.
    • [ajax] The virtualbox driver isn't explicitly blacklisted, so assuming it's capable enough it should get used. I don't think they build their guest additions for F17 yet because they insist on being able to break their internal ABIs whenever they like. Beyond that I don't know anything about virtualbox, you'd have to ask them.
