[Mesa-users] VMware guest GL driver not loading

[ericdow at alum.mit.edu]

Hi,

I'm running VMWare Workstation 12 Pro, and attempting to get OpenGL 3.3 
up and running. I've followed the instructions listed here:

https://www.mesa3d.org/vmware-guest.html 
<https://owa.exchange.mit.edu/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=LRWP-mx9LYX8Oh4-yjobYX5xMNsismlgyA_cKtWGmzGt6zl0qYrUCGgAdAB0AHAAcwA6AC8ALwB3AHcAdwAuAG0AZQBzAGEAMwBkAC4AbwByAGcALwB2AG0AdwBhAHIAZQAtAGcAdQBlAHMAdAAuAGgAdABtAGwA&URL=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mesa3d.org%2fvmware-guest.html>

I 
copied|/lib/modules/{version}/extra/vmwgfx.ko|into|/lib/modules/{version}/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko|, 
since the final install step seems to throw them in the wrong spot.

When I run dmesg, I see the following:

Note the "DX:no." Not good. When running glxinfo, I see the following:

MESA-LOADER: failed to retrieve device information

Any suggestions?

Thanks
