The current KDE4 is vastly improved from last time, extremely responsive and everything is really nice...except that I cannot get opengl working for compositing. The virtual machine has acceleration enabled, everything relevant has opengl compiled. I'm not very experienced with X/opengl/etc so I'm not sure what else needs to be done. glxinfo gives me: name of display: :0 Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig I'm not sure if it's even possible to get opengl working here...but I assume it is as a mythbuntu vm works perfectly displaying live tv etc. Anyway, any tips on this subject appreciated. It's hard to find anything on google related to this. Many thanks
