Dominique,
Thanks for your comment.
What GPU does the computer running the virtual machine use? That is, what
brand and model is the video card on the computer running Virtual Box?
What version of VirtualBox are you using?
I found a comment on the internet that suggests VirtualBox 7.1 under debian12
does not support 3D acceleration.
$ vboxmanage modifyvm deb-cube --accelerate3d on
VBoxManage: error: The graphics controller does not support the given feature
As I use KVM, I am able to run KDE with Wayland on my computers which have AMD
Radeon graphics cards, when enabling OpenGL support (Requires 'Listen type' to
be set to None')
Has anyone had success with getting Mice to work correctly for 3D games run in
VMs?
I installed Minecraft into a Debian Testing, KDE Wayland, VM and ran Minecraft,
Minecraft runs, however the mouse did not work correctly, when in a game world,
I could not use (move around with) the mouse inside the Minecraft World
correctly. When I tested X11, the mouse behaved differently but not correctly
in X11 either.
After adding a second mouse to my PC, (a logitech USB Wireless mouse and
keyboard), in Virt-Manager, I selected "Redirect USB device" and selected
"Logitech USB receiver". Then the logitech USB Wireless mouse worked normally
within the Minecraft game World, allowing me to move around normally. However
the logitech USB Wireless mouse did not operate correctly in the KDE
environment, and I had to use the PC's (normally used) mouse in KDE, to start
the Minecraft Launcher and to select the Minecraft 'Play' button, and to select
between "Singleplayer" and "Multiplayer" options to join the Minecraft World.
Once in the World, it was only the logitech USB Wireless mouse which worked
normally. My PC is not too powerful so while this worked, it is not something I
want to do for "gaming", lol.
I also tried TuxRacer. The USB redirected logitech USB Wireless mouse worked
well for selecting options within the game. However the mouse is not required
for playing this game, so it was not much of a test for mice functionality.
I find this strange behaviour which I cannot easily explain.
Via Virt-Manager I tried to 'Remove' the virtual mouse , e.g. <input
type="mouse" bus="ps2"/> but this option is greyed out, so I was not able to do
so. I was hoping if I removed KVM's virtual mouse, the USB redirected mouse
would work better. I what what others have tried and maybe succeeded in doing?
George.
