[Mesa-users] Glxgears Crashes in VMware

Yes, I'm using CentOS 6.8 in the guest. Yes, OpenGL acceleration works "out of the box" without compiling.


I have a 3D app that runs on a server that requires 3D to be working. If I run "vglconnect server1" then "vlgrun 3dapp" it will work without crashing, but if don't use "vglrun" it will crash. Very strange... It was working fine in CentOS 6.6 without using "vglrun".

So you're using CentOS 6.8 in the guest now?

Did OpenGL acceleration work "out of the box" before you tried compiling
things yourself?

I've only tested with CentOS 7 a while back and that seemed to work.
I'm afraid I don't have time to dig into this right now.  Maybe next
week when I'm back in my office.
