RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
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.
