Hello everyone,
I am running an Ubuntu 16.04.* server edition (without desktop) and VMware Workstation 12.5.7. But I do keep getting the message that "No 3D support is available from the host" when I start my Windows 10 guest. Graphical hardware is an Intel HD Graphics 530. 3d acceleration used to work on a Windows host, but now that I switched to Ubuntu as host I can't get it to work anymore. On the host I've tried several commands to see if 3d is indeed supported, see below:
lspci | grep VGA "00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Sky Lake Integrated Graphics (rev 06)"
glxinfo | grep OpenGL OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 4.0, 256 bits) OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.0.7 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL extensions:
glxinfo direct rendering: Yes
Also the command "glxgears" shows the gears rotating without any problems. I have to mention that I use x11 over ssh to show apps that require a GUI. I've also tried using a desktop interface called XFCE4 in combination with xrdp (remote desktop tool), but this method also doesn't give me OpenGL 3.* support in the Windows 10 guest. Either way I am not using Unity.
Any ideas?
