[vbox-dev] 3D and 2D media acceleration and for Windows 8.x

[Zhang, Xiantao]

Hi, all
I just tried Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, and basically it works fine. But after enabling 3D acceleration, Windows 8.x hits black screen during boot. In addition, seems 2D media acceleration options is always greyed out, any known issues here with Windows 8 ? thanks in advance!

Hi Xiantao,

Win8 should work fine with 3D and 2D.
This is most likely something specific to your host GPU [drivers].
Could you post me a VM log please so that I could check if there is something obvious there?

Please post me a VM log for VM session with 3D enabled.

Hi, Mikhail
Thanks, see the below log, and I am using ATI Radeon HD 4350 in the host side.

For the v8.1 VM is Settings::General::Version set to "Windows 8.1" or
"Windows 8.1 (64-bit)"?
