Hi Brian. First of all, thank you for your reply. I have tried your
suggestion on my working setup, and also doing everything again from
scratch. Basically, I get the same result - everything goes smoothly,
but in the end OpenGL is version 2.1. I even tried to run a simple
OpenGL 3.x program, and it crashes (simple OpenGL 2.1 program runs
fine).

Can you please spend an hour and try the instructions from
http://www.mesa3d.org/vmware-guest.html on a clean VMware Workstation
12 Player for Windows 64-bit (host), and Ubuntu 15.10 (guest)? It
would be very awesome if you can get OpenGL 3.x running in VMware 12,
and update the instructions. I am sure there is some critical piece
missing.

Thank you! = )
