In Topic: VMware SVGA II display driver for OS X, v1.2.5

05 October 2012 - 05:28 AM

Guys,
following up on my previous post, by upgrading to HW ver 9, the VM SVGA II is working.
By the way the VMware stock driver VMwareGFX works both with HW ver 8 and 9.
Remember I'm on Fusion 5, VM is 10.7.5.

Digging into the problem a little bit, I log the two dmesg in the VM and noticed that in the HW ver 8
(not working) there is a line

Init: SVGA3D: 3D disabled by host.

For sake of knowledge and for the record, is there any reason why SVGA II 1.2.4 doesn't work
on HW ver. 8?

Ciao

Hi all,
I was trying to install VMware SVGA II on a Lion (10.7.5) VM which run on Fusion 5.0.1.
The VM is hw version 8, has VM tools installed (version bundled with Fusion 5.0.1).

After installing the VMware SVGA II the VM rebooted and it hangs during the initial splash screen.
The weird thing is that the VM is actually running!!! I can ssh into it, it seems that just the windows server
doesn't come up.

Is there anything I can work on to have the VM work with SVGAII driver?

Regards
AxeL
