Yes, I check. Is anything specifically you wanted to point out?

probably this: Because 3D support is still experimental at this time, it is disabled by default and must be manually enabled in the VM settings
But I have no any idea if you missed this part or another part.

Now I see what you meant. I have (on the same host) others VM guests (Linux/UNIX-like) and 3D Acc works just fine.

Also I have another Arch with the same settings and 3D Acc works, I am not sure if GA was installed yet, most likely GA is not installed. Have to check next week.
