crash in virtualbox on MacOS if 3D Acceleration is enabled

[patman]

With:

• 13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports
• macOS 14.6.1 and 15.0.1 (just upgraded to 15.0.1 today and virtualbox still crashed in the same place)
• virtualbox 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 r165010
• Fedora 40 - most recent kernel and other packages. Edit: kernel is 6.10.12-200.fc40.x86_64

If 3D acceleration is enabled, virtualbox crashes when linux boots up.

Attached are the MacOS crash reports and VBox.log file.

I had this same problem with Ubuntu 22.04, 24.04, Fedora 40, and Arch. I'm on an M1 Max laptop. Disable 3D, and they all work.

I tried with 128 video ram and 256, no difference.

[pseudospock]

Oh, that was on 7.1.2 and 7.1.4.

[pseudospock]

Any update on this?

[pseudospock]

Just tested and this is still a problem on 7.1.6.
