Unfortunately, my understanding of how the graphics stuff works with VMs is very incomplete. I just haven't used them much, especially not on windoze. I've seen VirtualBox on windoze once, used to run more windoze in it ... so I'm clueless :( As a shot into the dark, I would guess that a driver for a physically present graphics card would need to be able to actually access the graphics card to be able to fully make use of its features. I don't know to what extend that is possible from inside a VM --- I sure wouldn't like it if I was running a VM and suddenly something running in the VM would access the physically present graphics card and mess up my X session ... I'm interested in finding out how this works with VMs, though, since I currently plan to set one up ... -- Debian testing amd64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
