Hey..

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 in VBOX on a Windows 7 host. I have a Nvidia Geforce 9600 gt graphics card. I would really like to get Compiz Fusion desktop effects working on it. Is this possible? I have read some threads where people have ultimately found out that the VBox guest addition drivers are not compatible. How can I determine if mine is going to work?

Thanks!

In the comments people have it working on a Win7 Host.

I've heard/seen many people say they have achieved it but I personally have never succeeded with it. Even with Virtualbox guest addons
