When using Windows as VMware host, (the vendor provided graphics drivers), glxgears outputs few thousand FPS when using SVGA driver. The Linux is a different story. It doesn't work very well with free drivers since no free driver has full OGL 3.2/3.3 support yet - and VMware GPU needs some of OGL 3.2/3.3 extensions. That said, you have to force usage of free drivers manually and you need to install libtxc_dxtn library - an implementation of s3tc texture compression OGL extension which is patented and can't be included in Mesa itself. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
