Hi,
I just bumped into this:
With the August 2015 Workstation 12 / Fusion 8 releases, OpenGL 3.3 is supported in the guest. This requires:
- The VM is configured for virtual hardware version 12.
- The host OS, GPU and graphics driver supports DX11 (Windows) or OpenGL 4.0 (Linux, Mac)
- On Linux, the vmwgfx kernel module must be version 2.9.0 or later.
- A recent version of Mesa with the updated svga gallium driver.
Otherwise, OpenGL 2.1 is supported.
Minimum kernel version to get this to work is 2.6.25 but looks like that for this old a guest you'll have to compile the kernel module by yourself.
