I have installed Kubunto 10.04 (Android project recommended development environment) on Virtualbox 4.1.16. I have installed the Virtualbox guest additions and have full-screen graphics on the guest. I am trying to work with OpenGL but I get the following messages (e.g. for glxinfo):

OpenGL Warning: Host doesn't accept our version 5.1. Make sure you have appropriate additions installed! OpenGL Warning: Failed to connect to host. Make sure 3D acceleration is enabled for this VM.

I have set the 3D acceleration support for the VM in the Virtualbox console.

Any ideas on how to get it to work?

You can easily develop for Android also on Windows or MacOSX. There is no need to use Linux for that. – Mārtiņš Možeiko Jun 26 '12 at 5:05
I am talking about the Android source project (source.android.com)... I think it's possible to build it from either Linux of Mac OS X. Anyways, this is a more general question. – smichak Jun 26 '12 at 6:26
Your question better fits SuperUser. Voting to close as off-topic. – datenwolf Jun 26 '12 at 7:16

The answer is already in StackOverflow, here:

How do I run the Android Emulator after a Build?

Or, better, in the Android emulator site:

http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html#accel-vm

(I learnt it the hard way: I was trying to use a XP SP3 virtual machine for Android development)
