You need to enable openGL acceleration. But it will be dead slow anyway, as there won't be any real hardware acceleration.

I haven't tried it in a few versions but it usually works fine. In some versions I had to delete the guisettings.xml to make it fly.
EDIT: I do not talk about hw acc, I am talking about starting the gui for dev purposes.
