> 3. No ... but "a computer that has no 3D acceleration" in 2013?! Even my phone has a GPU that can handle 3D acceleration at a rather large resolution.
My VirtualBox VM doesn't. Once fallback mode is gone I'm regretfully going to have to find a new desktop environment.

1) It actually does.
2) Fedora can use purely software LLVMPipe for OpenGL.

Not IME. <https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/9581> <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651936> <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651936>

Good for them. If only it worked in Debian <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=synr-avC0WA>.

Maybe you shouldn't run a useless distro.

Hardly the kind of comment we want on LWN. Please take this attitude elsewhere!

Such a distro would include, uh, Red Hat and Fedora, since both prefer QEMU as their virtualization engine, and nothing QEMU supports for display output (not SPICE, yet, and certainly not VNC) supports virtualizing 3D.
So, currently, Fedora when run atop Fedora is a platform that doesn't support 3D, even if the hardware does.
