[Mesa3d-users] VMWGFX / VMware for Windows

[Sorin P. <ma...@hy...>]

Hi.
I'm trying to get the VMWGFX Gallium driver to work under VMware Workstation
on a Windows host but I'm running into some difficulties. I've successfully
built the drivers for DRI, EGL and Xorg. The problem is mainly with the Xorg
driver. Whenever 2D acceleration (EXA) is enabled, 2D rendering is screwed.
Stuff is missing from the screen like all the text in xterm, random letters
from dialog boxes and dragging windows around leaves behind a total mess.
However, the exact same VM works fine on a Linux host (with the exception
that text rendering in xterm is slow but at least it appears correct)! I've
tried the VM on three different Windows hosts and got the exact same
results.
The VMware SVGA DDK from http://vmware-svga.sf.net has some examples and
demos, including a GMR test. The GMR test fails for the SVGA3D_BUFFER format
on VMware for Windows but works fine on a Linux host. The tests for the
other surface formats (LUMINANCE8, ALPHA8 and A8R8G8B8) are successful on
both Windows and Linux host OSs. So I guess this missing feature is causing
all the difficulties. Can anyone confirm this? Is anyone else running the
Xorg driver on a Windows host? Thanks!
