MOst likely referring to VMware Tools and various 3D acceleration drivers.

Thanks Taxiwill, is related to VMware tools?? then we have tools installtion in 4.0 also can you give me link where it is documented ??

what's 3D acceration drivers??

There is no 3D support available for ESX since the 3D virtualization stack for ESX does not exist. It is however available in hosted products. Optionally, if you really, really need 3D support for a VM, you can try GPU Passthru using VMDirectPath (which requires Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU capable platforms).

3D is not working, but you can see in the vmware tools instalation, the wyse drivers to use tcx in the thin clients.

Exact, you cannot use vms to render.
