Thanks for the response. Once the VM Fedora is installed with the 3D enabled, I am able to get a proper output for glxinfo: ********************************************************************************************* [fedgf@new-host-18 ~]$ glxinfo | grep -i Opengl OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: SVGA3D; build: RELEASE; LLVM; OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 17.2.4 OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30 OpenGL core profile context flags: (none) OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile OpenGL core profile extensions: OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 17.2.4 OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30 OpenGL context flags: (none) OpenGL extensions: OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 17.2.4 OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00 OpenGL ES profile extensions: [fedgf@new-host-18 ~]$ *********************************************************************************************
but after I install VirtualGL by following the doc <https://cdn.rawgit.com/VirtualGL/virtualgl/2.5.2/doc/index.html>(answered No to all 3 questions), I'm getting the following error: ********************************************************************************************* xdpyinfo -display :0 <-- output fine ********************************************************************************************* /opt/VirtualGL/bin/glxinfo -display :0 -c <-- I get the below error Xlib: sequence lost (0x10019 > 0x19) in reply type 0x0! X Error of failed request: GLXBadContext Major opcode of failed request: 154 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 6 (X_GLXIsDirect) Serial number of failed request: 25 Current serial number in output stream: 25 ********************************************************************************************* My goal for all of this was to get some kind of 3D acceleration for the VM without a GPU which I think is better than nothing. If there's an obvious error in my setup, please let me know, thank you.
