New MacBook Pro and Linux VMs hang (graphics problem)

Dear Forum,

yesterday I finally got my new MacBook Pro (non Retina) 15" from my company, installed everything, updated everything (10.8.2, Fusion 5.0.2) and when I started my first Linux VMs it hang when the GUI came up. (I did not migrate, and this happens with "old" vms and even newly installed linux vms)

This happens to all Linux VMs no matter if integrated or discrete Graphics is active, but it only happens if OpenGL is switched on in the vm settings. If OpenGL is switched off, the vms run like they are supposed to (though with slow GUI due to non OpenGL ;-)).

It even happens when they do not have a GUI at all (CentOS Server for example).

Windows VMs don't have those problems.

What is going on, what can I do?

MacBook Pro 9,1 (with i7, 16GB RAM), Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Fusion 5.0.2, with Intel HD 4000 and Geforce GT 650M

My other MacBookPro was one from 2007 (before Unibody), was with Core2Duo, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Fusion 5.0.2 and Geforce 8600M. Here everything was running nicely as supposed to.

I saved the Crash-Info Fusion offers, but since there are quite some information about my network and system saved, I don't want to post it here.

Kindest regards,

Thomas
