I installed the latest version of vmware workstation (10.0.2) in ubuntu 14.04 LTS and I have the following problem:
I use the open source driver "Radeon" (Galium 0.4) and Mesa 10.1.0.
My graphics card:
glxinfo | grep OpenGL
OpenGL vendor string: X.Org OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD
RS780 OpenGL core profile version string: 3.1 (Core Profile) Mesa
10.1.0 OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 1.40 OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile
extensions: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.1.0 OpenGL shading
language version string: 1.30 OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 VGA

glxinfo | grep -i render
direct rendering: Yes
GLX_MESA_multithread_makecurrent, GLX_MESA_query_renderer, OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS780
GL_MESA_texture_signed_rgba, GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_NV_depth_clamp,
GL_NV_blend_square, GL_NV_conditional_render, GL_NV_depth_clamp,
I tried to install driconf
and changed Enable S3TC texture compression
...by default is No
, and also edited the .vmx
file, adding the line:
mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"
But it doesn't work.
I checked if this package is in my system:
libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0
I think it is a free implementation of the texture compression library for Mesa. This package is installed by default on Trusty.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Best Regards.
