Does Linux guest support OpenGL2.1 in VMPlayer 3.1.1 under Linux host?

Hello.

My host is Slackware 13.1.

I've tried to run my OpenGL app (I use OGRE) under Debian 5 Lenny (32, 64) which requires FBO. Both fail on some stencil shadow thing. The same app runs fine under Windows XP guest with some minor shadow bug.

Doesn't Linux host support OpenGL2.1?

Thanks.

Slackware64 13.1 to be correct.

And the question should be: "Doesn't linux GUEST support OpenGL2.1".

I have vmware tools installed for both Debian's.

I believe the answer to that question is at the present time no and OpenGL 2.1 support is available for Windows XP Virtual Machines and OpenGL 1.4 support is available for Windows Vista/7.
