Virtualbox access to graphics card

[Paulo Sampaio]

Hello Wade,

Unfortunately virtualbox only suports direct access to your processor, not
you graphics driver or any other component of  your computer, everything is
virtualized. You can try other virtualization solutions, but as far as i
know, only the processor can be accessed directly.


Atenciosamente,
