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 with 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|x86) 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
