Description
When I'm not in full-screen mode, I can run an OpenGL application such as glxgears, and it works fine. In full-screen mode, however, the entire screen will go black except for the contents of the window where 3D rendering is occurring. For example, with glxgears I see only the gears, and the rest of the screen is black.
I'm running Debian "jessie" as a guest with VirtualBox 5.0.10 on a Windows 7 SP1 host. Both the guest and the host are 64-bit. I've installed the guest additions for 5.0.10 via the CD image supplied with VirtualBox. 3D acceleration is enabled in the VM settings. (Disabling it makes the problem go away, but then 3D rendering is slow due to no acceleration.) I have version 10.3.2-1 of most of the mesa lib packages, 9.0.0-2 for libglu1-mesa. My graphics card is an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800, and I have the NVIDIA drivers installed on the host. (Previously I had a Quadro FX 570, and the behavior was exactly the same with that card.) Everything else is working fine in this Linux guest.
