  • I've run the intel-linux-graphics-installer updated my drivers.
  • I've installed DRI and enabled S3TS Texture Compression. (solved problem on Ubuntu 12.04 machines)
  • I've looked for fixes on multiple posts.

I wish I understood exactly what was going on and I'd fix it, but I don't know what else to do to enable 3D acceleration. I do have 640x480 and it does run.

  • VMWare 9.0.2 build-1031769
  • Ubuntu 13.04
  • Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU T7800 @ 2.60GHz × 2
  • Intel® 965GM x86/MMX/SSE2

  • What a shame we can't run Ubuntu/Kubuntu properly on VMware anymore. I hope we don't need to build the driver our selves mesa3d.org/vmware-guest.html

  • I am using an Kubuntu x86 12.04 with VMware 8/9/10 without any problems: full 3D on KDE (eg Cube desktop effects that put Windows to shame). On the same machine Kubuntu/Ubuntu x86/x64 14.04 fail miserably...

Open the VMX file:

vim winxp.vmx

And add these to the end:

mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = TRUE

try to boot the machine with 3D enabled.
