dmd. Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 imagine my surprise seeing those two quizzes after logging in for the first time in ~2 years anyway, i am a little confused in regards to qe/ci support by vmware and was wondering if anyone could clear some things up for me... i had some free time on my hands yesterday and converted my snow leopard installation (running on apple hardware) to a VM. after installing the SVGAII drivers, i had full qe/ci support? does this mean that vmware allows qe/ci support on apple hardware under mac os, but not with vmware workstation in a windows environment? apologies if this has been answered before, but i couldn't seem to find anything. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 No there is no QE/CI for VMware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd. Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 well, there most definitely is for vmware fusion... i can play videos, start all programs, and get all window animations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 That does not mean QE/CI is working. There have been many discussions about it here, and I asked VMware. Still apps not working such as iWork an other professional grade applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Vermelho Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Flurry screensaver runs fine on software OpenGL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmd. Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 true, but i tried to run some VMs a year ago or so and opengl wouldn't run. neither would both quartz extreme and core image. i guess i was just wishing for a miracle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avpez Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I know this discussion is a little old and I have read in multiple places that VMWare doesn't support QE / CI, but I just wanted to check if the new addition of OpenGL 3.3 and DirectX 10 to Workstation Pro 12 provides any avenue or hope for QE / CI either by VMWare or third parties?

You would have to ask VMware as they would need to write the driver. Zenith432, who wrote a video driver for Fusion, said it was several man years worth of work for someone to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that Quartz is built on OpenGL, so I am wondering if such a driver would have to be GPU specific, or would sit on top of OpenGL? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
