13Known limitations
–OVF localization (multiple languages in one OVF file) is not yet supported.
–Some OVF sections like StartupSection, DeploymentOptionSection and In- stallSection are ignored.
–OVF environment documents, including their property sections and appli- ance configuration with ISO images, are not yet supported.
–OVA archives (TAR containers) are not yet supported.
–Remote files via HTTP or other mechanisms are not yet supported.
•Vista
•Seamless mode does not work correctly on host systems with multiple monitors.
•Mac OS X host. The following restrictions apply (all of which will be resolved in future versions):
–No support for audio input.
–The numlock emulation has not yet been implemented.
–The CPU frequency metric is not supported.
–3D OpenGL acceleration. In general the OpenGL support for Linux guest is experimental. This counts especially in combination with compiz enabled window managers. Additional we are aware of the following issues:
∗There are several redraw problems with compiz enabled window man- agers on Linux guests. E.g. after save/restore state or a resize of the guest window.
•Linux hosts. There are a few problems when compiz is used as the host’s win- dow manager, notably:
–seamless mode does not work well (garbled screen display if no windows are open in the guest);
–OpenGL guest acceleration (added with 2.1) is very slow.
If you experience these problems, you way want to try using a different window manager, such as metacity.
•Solaris hosts. For OpenSolaris and Solaris 10 U5/U6, the following restrictions apply:
–There is no support for USB on Solaris 10 hosts.
–Experimental USB support for OpenSolaris/Nevada hosts (versions 124 and higher recommended).
–No ACPI information (battery status, power source) is reported to the guest.
–No support for using wireless with bridged networking.
