I am testing out VM Ware Workstation 6.0 on my Ubuntu x86_64 machine. I have the latest binary nvidia drivers running on my system and direct OpenGL is working fine on my Linux desktop. I have enabled the experimental Direct3D support using the instructions in the user guide. Unfortunately I still get a dialog popping up displaying:
"Failed to construct OpenGL rendering backend. The 3-D features of the display card will
be disabled"
I have read through the archives and tried everything I have seen there but I can not find a reason for the problem. My best guess so far is that the latest nvida driver or xorg is just not supported in some way.
Any ideas?
Here are my system details and log files:
Ubuntu 7.04, x86_64
