MacOS are all supported.
</p>
<p>
With the August 2015 Workstation 12 / Fusion 8 releases, OpenGL 3.3
is supported in the guest.
This requires:
<ul>
<li>The VM is configured for virtual hardware version 12.
<li>The host OS, GPU and graphics driver supports DX11 (Windows) or
OpenGL 4.0 (Linux, Mac)
<li>On Linux, the vmwgfx kernel module must be version 2.9.0 or later.
<li>A recent version of Mesa with the updated svga gallium driver.
</ul>
</p>
<p>
Otherwise, OpenGL 2.1 is supported.
</p>
<p>
OpenGL 3.3 support can be disabled by setting the environment variable
SVGA_VGPU10=0.
You will then have OpenGL 2.1 support.
This may be useful to work around application bugs (such as incorrect use
of the OpenGL 3.x core profile).
</p>
<p>
Most modern Linux distros include the SVGA3D driver so end users shouldn't
be concerned with this information.

then rerun glxinfo and examine the output for error messages.
</p>
<p>
If OpenGL 3.3 is not working (you only get OpenGL 2.1):
</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure the VM uses hardware version 12.
<li>Make sure the vmwgfx kernel module is version 2.9.0 or later.
<li>Check the vmware.log file for errors.
<li>Run 'dmesg | grep vmwgfx' and look for "DX: yes".
