Hi, OSG is OpenGL only so it won't work with DirectX particularly on an VMware machine unless it support OpenGL, virtual box DOES support OpenGL that allows you to bang the hardware direct if you want to change!
I don't believe VMware supports direct OpenGL but may support DirectX, but of course OpenGL wont work.... Try Virtual box?Unless I am missing the point?

Configuration is a Windows XP box with 3 virtual Machines [1 Windows XP VM, 2 Linux VM's]. Google Earth works on the VM using OpenGL but I need it to work using DirectX/3D. DirectX is installed but the VM reports that it cannot be found. VMware Vsphere is most likely the VM generator. The goal is for the VM to get access to the graphics card on the bare metal. Any thoughts? Troubleshooting strategies? John F. Richardson
