Hello,I'm running Proxmox 3.1 (all updates applied). I've installed LInux Mint Cinnamon but upon restarting the VM and viewing the VM from the console, I am presented with the following message:"Cinnamon is currently running without video hardware acceleration and, as a result, you may observe much higher than normal CPU usage"I'm using the default option for video on Proxmox for the settings of this VM. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this? Do I need to install video drivers in my VM or can I make a change to the hardware from Proxmox that would fix this problem.Thank you.

There is nothing you can do. The Cinnamon desktop manager requires 3D acceleration which is not available in KVM.
No to mention that this "flavor" of mint you have choosen ist dependant on the current Ubuntu and you'll be running updates more often than you would like to. Even if you have a decent Video 3D card in a real machine it is likely to not work properly.
I recently fiddelt with it for hours on my sons machine. I uninstalled it and installed the mint version using Debian Testing, which is running stable without problems for a few weeks now.
Just my two cents.
