Re: [PLUG] Kubuntu Feisty + Beryl + GLX + VMWare

There are options you can enable to turn on some basic 3d stuff in vmware. Don't expect too much.Sound with vmware under linux is a bit rough... last I saw they still just used the old sound api stuff so if you have a nice sound card like an sblive your fine. Most integrated sound cards will give you issues. there are a few workarounds but your milage my vary with them. You might want to look around for some of the other solutions that are out there. try aoss vmwareprogramname (server, player, etc...)

You won't be able to do heavy 3D stuff in a virtual machine. That's not what it's designed for. It is a virtual machine using virtual hardware. It's primary design focus is for servers and cross platform dev. Neither are heavy users of graphics technology and rarely, if ever, need 3D rendering.
For sound, you may have to link whatever your sound card device is to /dev/dsp or something like that. If you can get sound in Linux, you can get sound in VMWare. I use it all the time.

I used the free version of VMWare Server 1.0.2, after registering on VMWare's site. But I had to patch it with vmware-any-any-update109.
I'm having two issues with VMWare -- there's no sound ( e.g. music won't play in XP in VMWare, because it says no sound card is detected). And also, XP is not picking up my nVIDIA card, it's using a VMware SVGA II.
There's probably a way to configure these things, I haven't got around to it yet. Any suggestions?
