System Information

• Ogre Version: 1.11
• Operating System / Platform: Linux on VirtualBox

Detailled description

When launching an Ogre APP on linux debian running on VirtualBox, the 3D view is not working. I use external window handle, and a Ogre 1.10 version from last year is still working on this system.
