Building Opengl 3+ in ubuntu under virtualbox/vmware
For a computer graphics class we will be developing opengl 3+ applications. I have installed ubuntu under both vmware and virtualbox, and installed there respective guest additions.
If I run
glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
I get
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Chromium 1.9
Is there any way that OpenGL 3+ is supported in a virtual machine (with ubuntu as guest?)
Info: The host is Windows 8 64bit Intel i7-920, nVidia 560Ti GPU.
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that because this is academic, software rendering using openGL 3+ is also ok. I find Mesa3D promising, but can't find enough information on how to install in ubuntu and force software rendering (using openGL 3+). Any information is welcome.

You could try installing the proprietary Nvidia drivers. The Nvidia 560Ti you have should support OpenGL 3.0. This page should help:
