CompizFusion with 64-bit Linux on Windows XP SP Host

Has any one installed, configured and run CompizFusion on a Linux guest on a windows XP SP 2 host? Is it possible? This is my environment: Host: WinXP SP 2, Guest: Kubuntu 7.10 64-bit. I am running this Linux on a phisically dedicated HD. That is I have a duel boot and the Linux HD is dedicated to the Linux virtual machine. Windows OS does not have any acess to this drive.

I installed the lastest CompizFusion. I configured it but not working. That is, it is not presenting the 3D desktop. I do find that it may have caused a problem with VMware Tools. I am guessing at this because my desktop does not resize its self any more.

I just realized I have not booted the machine with this drive to check it out when running Linux natively... but will ask this question anyway for now.

Thanks in advance.

We do not support OpenGL acceleration at this time (which I believe CompizFusion requires).
