Does Beryl work in either Parallels 3.0 or VMWare Fusion?

[ginistheman]

With the recent breakthrough's in virtualisation technology, I was wondering if anyone had managed to get Beryl or Compiz etc. running smoothly through a virtual desktop.

Parallels 3.0 claims to be able to play some DirectX9 games so surely it should be able to handle desktop acceleration? I've done numerous internet searches on this but not found anything.

I'd like to run Sabayon on my Mac through either Parallels or VMWare with the 3D desktop and full Beryl loveliness - has anyone been able to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Not sure have to install parallels and check it out here.
Virtualbox is free and works as for beryl in virtualbox not sure.

Easiest way to get a good answer is install parallels demo or paid for version and boot from the live dvd on parallels. If it gives you the xgl aixgl or no accel options before login the you have a green light.

Might also have to install parallels tools that add's their video driver to parallels installed virtual pc .
Not sure here.

Might want to post in the virtual pc part of the forum.

Thanks for the reply Warra - I've tried running the Live DVD but don't get Desktop acceleration from the off.

However, I've not tried it after installing Parallels tools either. I'll try this and report back.

Has anyone else tried it after installing Parallels tools?

when i will see 'virtual nvidia XXX' or ati graphic card listed in my winxp vmware setup, then can begin to hope ... now look like a crappy 16 mb svga adapter ...

what video cards Parallels 3.0 claims to have? Same question for latest vmware ...

look like kvm/qemu will be more quick to support some sort of opengl, with a form of opengl external and usermode server process. Something like a X server ....
