If the Xorg.0.log file says direct rendering is enabled,

        LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo|grep render

might give a hint.

If so, assuming you don't need 3D acceleration in the guest OS, you may
be able to work around the problem by disabling 3D acceleration in the
VM display settings. If not, it would be interesting to see at least the
full Xorg.0.log files from both the broken and working driver version.
