i have a windows 7 VM i copied from another machine to my linux host. booting it up shows it has full Aero with the transparency and all. i ran system index and graphics show a 5.7.
i then updated vmware tools and when the machine rebooted, workstation told me that 3d acceleration has been disbled because the host has no support?
i have a i915 graphics card with isn't known for its great 3D performance but opengl and everything works fine. the vmware log says something else however:

any ideas on how to get the extension back? or how to enable 3D any other way?
