OpenGL Warning: Cleared gl error 0x500 on context creation

[TechGuy987]

Hello all,

I am trying to run a Ubuntu 11.10 guest on a Ubuntu 10.04 host, and the guest freezes up when I try to log in using the "Ubuntu" (ie. Unity 3D) interface. If I log in using the "Ubuntu 2D" (ie. Unity 2D) interface, everything is fine.

I have attached the log file. From what I have read in a forum post (​https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=46120), the relevant lines are:

00:01:26.008 OpenGL Warning: Cleared gl error 0x500 on context creation
00:01:32.771 OpenGL Warning: Trying to switch contexts when the attribute stacks weren't empty.  Currently, this is not supported.
00:01:36.326 OpenGL Warning: Trying to switch contexts when the attribute stacks weren't empty.  Currently, this is not supported.

According to the post linked above, this error is indicative of driver issues. My chipset is the ATI Technologies Inc RS880 (Radeon HD 4200), and the driver I am using is the open source radeon driver (version 1:6.13.0-1ubuntu5 of the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package).

I created a forum post for my problem (​see here), and was advised to post a bug report.

Thanks in advance.

Could you check whether the issue is fixed with VBox 4.3 and 4.3 Additions?
