Do all webcam programs depend on 3D acceleration in Virtual Box?

I'm trying to use my webcam from an Ubuntu virtual guest.
When I start cheese from a terminal, it tells me that it depends on 3D acceleration.
Are there alternative ways to test a webcam that don't depend on 3D acceleration?

You should try other webcam software, like guvcview. Maybe cheese won't work because it has effects which need 3D acceleration.
