Re: [Mesa3d-users] acceleration in vmware

[Jamie A. <jam...@gm...>]

I've been trying to get an accelerated linux ubuntu guest  working within an
ubuntu accelerated host (nvidia accel working there).So far, in the guest,
I've removed all the X11/mesa packages and downloaded the latest X11 and
mesa git source code. I've got everything compiled and working but I don't
seem to have any acceleration at least not for mesa, which is in software
mode:

Some important bits:

OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.8-devel
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
