VirtaulBox host setting VMSVGA 3D acceleration seems to be working.
- Without, 3D acceleration disabled the CPU utilization is higher as expected (100%).
- With, 3D acceleration enabled the CPU utilization is lower (30%).
The output of glxinfo is exactly the same with and without 3D acceleration.
I can’t find any way to figure that out from inside the VM. The only way to find this out is by testing. Environment variable QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext is either required or not.
QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext monero-wallet-gui
or
monero-wallet-gui
For VirtualBox, this will be simplified in the future in Whonix ™ 15.0.1.3.4 (and above) which is coming soon. QMLSCENE_DEVICE=softwarecontext will be globally set as environment variable if VirtualBox is detected. Script:
