I'm starting to evaluate it but thought I'd save the hassle of setting up a new machine by trying it under VB on my general LINUX dev. machine but it seems like there's what looks like it could be a DirectX / Shader model 3 compatibility problem with the setup where the symptoms are that the example schematics render / view OK but the PCB totally fails to render / view (black subwindow) for the PCB board and library examples.
Is anyone aware of a work-around or can confirm success with maybe some different host GPU driver / kernel or VB version or guest setup?
I tried all the guest addition 2D / 3D enabling and display options and nothing seems to help, though maybe a newer VB version could help though I don't see anything encouraging in the changelogs and there are still Shader Model 3 guest passthrough compatibility bugs listed from 5 years ago that haven't been "CLOSED".....
I guess CS has not got some of the DirectX use control settings that full AD had / has unless I'm missing something available in the features / settings.
VMWARE claims to have DX + SM3 support maybe that'll work...?
Or maybe I should just invest the time and set up a bare metal sandbox to use with it though windows...ugh.
