Software : VMware Workstation Pro 16.1.0 for linux
CPU & GPU: AMD Ryzen 7-4700U with Radeon Graphics
OS : Gentoo Linux x64
Kernel : Linux 5.11.0-zen2 AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
the host os can use 3D acceleration
vmware.log:
vm.vmx
I would suggest that you try adding that line
mks.gl.allowUnsupportedDrivers="TRUE"
to the vmx of this VM.
Just make sure that the VM is shut down (not suspended) BEFORE editing the vmx.
If this 3D acceleration problem is resolved with adding that line, you can then add it to /etc/vmware/config so that you don't have to manually add that configuration line to every existing VM and new VM(s) yet to be created on this host machine.
From the vmware.log
2021-03-28T09:51:04.455+08:00| mks| I005: GLHostX11: Disabling 3D on this display due to presence of an unsupported graphics driver.
2021-03-28T09:51:04.455+08:00| mks| I005: GLHostX11: Set the config option mks.gl.allowUnsupportedDrivers=TRUE to override.
Have you tried adding the line
mks.gl.allowUnsupportedDrivers=TRUE
to the vmx configuration file?
no, I've never edited the vmx file, and there's no line
"mks.gl.allowUnsupportedDrivers=TRUE"
in the vmx file.

The problem is solved. Thank you![]()
This solution works. I was tearing my hair out over the issue. I am running VMWare Player 16.2 in a Manjaro host with a Windows 10 guest. The suggested solution worked perfectly.
Can you use the virtual network adapter?
