Hallo,
I'trying to use the vmwgfx driver to anable 3D accellarion on vmware player,
but xorg still use swrast driver.
I'm using kernel 2.6.33-rc7-00213-g0706f50 self comiled with vmwgfx driver
enabled.
I'm using mesa_7_7_branch because is the only one vmwgfx works in xorg
(master still doesn't work in xorg) and xorg 1.7.99.3 dated 20100121.
It seems that drm recognize 3D capabilities, but Xorg doesn't
This is what I get from dmesg:

It seems to use swrast. I would expect it to use vmwgfx_dri.
