Hello all,

 

I'm trying to run Chimera on VirtualBox. The installation completes fine, but when I try and run the program (cd to the bin directory and run ./chimera) I see

 

X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)

Major opcode of failed request:  72 (X_PutImage)

Resource id in failed request:  0x480006a

Serial number of failed request:  1382

Current serial number in output stream:  1388

 

I've tried enabling / disabling hardware virtualization & 3D acceleration, but to no avail. Although people do seem to have problems with chimera on a virtualbox, it normally seems to be a problem with OpenGL, which this doesn't seem to be.

 

Has anyone seen this error before? Is there anything else I'm missing? I can’t even work out if it's a hardware, VirtualBox, or OS problem…

 

System:

VirtualBox 4.2.4
Guest additions 4.2.4

Guest OS: Ubuntu 12.04
Host OS: Windows 7 professional

 

Thanks in advance!

Chris
