Wayland
On my side, kde6 with wayland does not work in a VirtualBox VM.
I had to switch to X11
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.
