Just for fun i startet glxgears on the client. Opened ccsm and disabled Framebuffer object and Always use buffer swapping. I completely shut down the vm and restarted it. Indeed nvidia has vsync enabled, I disabled it an wglxgears is now running with >5000FPS on the host.
If it doesn't help, try to resize the screen a couple of times, that may help to work around the compiz bug.

This can to some extent be fixed (unfortunately this is subject to a compiz bug), in the guest:Ī) Lauch compiz-config-settings-manager (ccsm), you may have to apt-get install it first.Ĭ) Untick "Always use buffer swapping" and "Framebuffer object".

Ubuntu Unity (via compiz) may tell the GL driver that it has updated the whole screen while it has just updated a small portion. Unfortunately the next time you log in, on the host, you may have to force vsync off again using nvidia-settings. This should make window movement snappier. Then quit the application and verify that glxgears runs at 10000+fps on the host and turn off and then turn on your vm (rebooting isn't enough). If it's already unticked, tick it and untick again. You then have to go into the nvidia-settings tool on the host and under "OpenGL Settings", untick "Sync to Vblank".

While we try to turn it off, Nvidia's drivers try hard to turn it on again, so if you launch glxgears on the host and it runs at around 60fps instead of 10000+ fps, the host has vsync enabled. Too much time is spent waiting for the sync to happen. Vmware 3D doesn't work well with host Vsync turned on. However, there are two issues at stake here, one which is fixable: I've actually never tested a 4K display, and we haven't had that many usage reports with 4K on linux guests either. Please take a look at for understanding VMware Tools functionality (Most of the details about user space components apply to open-vm-tools user space). Version 4.0 onwards, vmhgfs is not needed because we have FUSE based implementation in our v10.0.0 and later VMware Tools/open-vm-tools.

For old Linux kernel versions, you would need to get drivers from VMware Tools or open-vm-tools and new Linux kernel versions 3.9 or later include source code for all of our drivers except vmhgfs. This question has specific answers based on the version of Linux kernel. All the drivers must be built into the Linux kernel itself using the source included in the Linux kernel.Ĭould you (or anyone else) provide a short list of what features open-vm-tools or the proprietary VMware tools are necessary in order to utilize, and what features are built in to the kernel? For 4.0 kernel, you don't need any drivers from open-vm-tools. That means that no modules are built at all on my kernel by Yes. A distro shipping mesa 11.1+ shold have OpenGL 3 enabled. Also the version on the line below that should be of interest. The important things to verify is the OpenGL render string that should be "Gallium x.y on SVGA3D.". OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16 OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 11.0.3 (git-b4bfea0) OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 11.0.3 (git-b4bfea0) OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on SVGA3D build: RELEASE
To verify 3D support, make sure you have the "glxinfo" command available (typically comes with the "mesa-utils" package) and then type For some distros, like Kali, that box is not ticked by default at installation. Typically 3D acceleration works out-of-the box using shipped drivers for most modern distros, but you might want to make sure that 3D is enabled by ticking the appropriate box in the VM settings.
3D acceleration is not in any way related to vmware tools or open-vm-tools for linux guests. Unfortunately that error message is bogus and should have been removed.
