Nvidia Card Question.
Hello,
I have one naive question. I am not a window fan and almost all the time use Ubuntu. But lately I downloaded Maya and other software for which I had to install VirtualBox ( with Window 7 as guest). I have Nvidia GeForce 460 on my linux and it works fine, but should I install new driver for the window machine in order to use Nvidia Card ? How do I know if the window is using Nvidia card ? Thanks. Mir -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

You must install VirtualBox Guest Additions for Windows guest.

You should do as Jesse told you: Enter your guest system and then look on top for the "Devices" menu and inside it look for "Install Guest Additions...".
