Is it possibly to speed up the graphics of Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop under Windows 8.1 Hyper-V anyhow?
I've already decreased the screen resolution and disabled the COMPIZ video effects, but it's still very laggy. It used to work with almost native performance under VMware Player, but I have to move on with Hyper-V.
UPDATE
Can you post the output of /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p
Sure:
OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits) OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.1.3 Not software rendered: no Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program: yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object: yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity 3D supported: no
Also:

The desktop lags because Hyper-V is using software rendering instead of using the GPU:
This appears to be because Hyper-V has no 3D GPU acceleration capability. Hyper-V is a server-virtualization techonology that is not meant to be used for virtual desktops:
