[Mesa-users] Glxgears Crashes in VMware

Fri Oct 28 00:50:20 UTC 2016

I've ran the "gdb glxgears" command on the local VM machine:

Running the same command on the server still crashes and a new login screen reappears. It works if I run it with "vglrun".

How would I use the "gdb" command? Can you give me an example.

Can you try running with gdb to get some information about the crash?
