You cannot!

Your guests will ALWAYS only see the emulated graphics adapter - VMware SVGA II video card. Install the VMware Tools in your guest to get the video driver for it installed. Refer to the Workstation user manual for step by step instructions.

No, it doesn't mean that at all. Workstation 6.5+ fully supports Direct3D acceleration in guests. Read the Workstation User Manual for details and information on the requirements and the steps you need to take (and the limitations).

yes, actually the DirectDraw Acceleration and Accelerartion of my guest are already both Enabled. Only the AGP Texture Acceleration is not availabe .

but the running of Wining Eleven still have time delay with my gamestick.

Is AGP Testure Acceleration not active the reason?

thanks
