OpenSuSE / VirtualBox run problem

Hi,

I'm having problems running BGEE with Virtualbox (in OpenSuSE). My vga controller is Nvidia Quadro FX 370.

I installed Windows 7, guest additions, OpenAL and setup BGEE. When I fire up the game, it works fine with the sound. When I try to start a game, the screen gets jumbled up, the sound starts to stammer and I have no choice but to kill the game with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

I've tried enabling Virtualbox's experimental Direct-3D support but the end result didn't change.

As I've tested more, I was able to generate a character, so I believe the problem is when a video scene starts to play.

So I've got a two-fold question:
* If there are people running BGEE with Virtualbox are there any tricks to it?
* Is there a way to completely disable videos? (if I'm guessing correctly) I tried moving the videos folder :), but didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

    I have the same problem with video card Intel HD Graphics 4000 and a Windows XP guest (I know it's outdated) and OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion host. It seems the intro video crashes things. Maybe if videos could be disabled?

    Edit: the solution for me was to enable 3D acceleration. (2D acceleration is currently turned off.)
