Nobody uses OpenGL 3 because there's no documentation for it, and there's no documentation for it because nobody uses it...

You're probably being sarcastic but my detector is broken. The GL3 docs are here:

Update: y'all were right, gl in VirtualBox is only 1.1 (!!!), when I hauled out the windows laptop and built it over there it all works ok.

I'm way late to this party but but still useful info: out of the box Windows only supports OpenGL 1.1 (well at least up to Win 7 is that way. Haven't tested anything more recent). You'll have to install OpenGL drivers from your graphics card vendor to get anything more recent. VMware Fusion and Parallels do this when they install their integration packages I believe. I got bit by this a bunch at work in the past.

Edit: found that it's an OpenGL 3 feature. Unclear whether the GPU in question does OpenGL 3. Is there a table somewhere?

Maybe this helps?
