Summary: Does the Android emulator work inside a VM? Or must it be run on a
bare metal machine?
I am trying to setup some automated tests using Jenkins using the Android
plugin. The slave is a VM (on top) of VMWare ESXi, running Ubuntu Linux (32 bit
x86). When the emulator tries to start the VM, it shows an error "Failed to
Initialize backend EGL display" and nothing happens.

Failed to Initialize backend EGL display

emulator: WARNING: Could not initialize OpenglES emulation, using software
renderer.
I tried with different abi (x86|armeabi-v7a) and options (combinations of
-noaudio -gpu off). All failing. I also tried to login to the console and
launch the emulator manually. All I see is a black emulator window. The
emulator process is actively running ('top' command), but I don't see the home
screen.
Thanks,
Charles
