Using Radeon FirePro for 3D support
Hello,
I am quite new to diagnosing VMware workstation issues and have trawled through the community posts but still need some guidance from those with greater experience. I have a 3D CAD package that runs badly under VMware Worstation (15.5.1 build-15018445) and I think I have identified the problem as a lack of OpenGL support based on the log entries (excerpt below). I have found quite a bit of information on how to configure an Nvidia based GPU but not so much for an AMD Radeon. Would anyone be able to offer some guidance on clearing the error I see in the logs? I can see that the graphic card is found however it seems to be unable to support the 3D environment in the virtual machine. Any pointers would be gratefully received.

Update to the original query.
I have modified the HW configuration of the host and now get no error in the log. I can see now that a direct X renderer is selected and I also see that a GLRenderer is allowed but I don't see any other references to it. Should there be a line to point the GLRenderer at the Radeon card?
