No more host freezes ! I found out that compiling the nvidia driver WITHOUT the linux_emulation option did it! The instability and freeze issue with vbox+openGL active is GONE! As you can see on attached image, I have started: 2 XP 1 Win7 32 1 Win7 64 2 Win 2003 1 Fedora Plus a few other kde apps. Before doing this, if I started only one of the win7 VM, my host would freeze!. -- Mario Lobo http://www.mallavoodoo.com.br FreeBSD since version 2.2.8 [not Pro-Audio....
