Description of problem:

When running as a guest on VMWare Workstation 11, RHEL 7.0 is unable to enable 3D acceleration when using Workstation 11 hardware compatibility (known issue). However, it did work with Workstation 10 hardware compatibility on both VMWare Workstation 11.x and VMWare Workstation 10.x. Upon upgrading to RHEL 7.1, 3D acceleration can no longer be enabled using either hardware compatibility setting.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Name        : xorg-x11-drv-vmware
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 13.0.2
Release     : 1.el7
From repo   : rhel-7-desktop-rpms
Summary     : Xorg X11 vmware video driver

The previous version, 13.0.1 appeared to work correctly

How reproducible:

Quite. I double checked with an older RHEL 7.0 VM and the 3D acceleration was functioning correctly


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 7.1 on a VMWare Workstation 10+ guest
2. run "glxinfo | grep OpenGL"
3.

Actual results:

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.5, 256 bits)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.2.7
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30

Expected results:

OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on SVGA3D; build: RELEASE; 
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.2.7
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30

Additional info:

Fedora (fc20-fc22) version xorg-x11-drv-vmware-13.0.2-4.20140613git82c9b0c appears to include a fix specifically for render acceleration not working.
