kellya and MavereX,

Could you please provide the full version of the simulator you are using (ex 2.0.0.123)?

[kellya]

I have tried both 1.0.7-3312 and 2.0.0-4867.

[MavereX]

I have only tried 2.0.0-4867, I will try 1.0.8-6067 and let you know of the results.

[kellya]

I just tried 1.0.8-6067 and got the same result.  Also, for the heck of it, I tried in VMware workstation instead of player.  No change their either.

Apart from MavereX, whom has already confirmed, could everyone else check to ensure that the "Accelerate 3D Graphics" setting is enabled in VM Ware? If it is not, please enable then reboot and let me know if the issue is fixed. 

MavereX, I am still investigating other possible causes.

[kellya]

Yes, "Accelerate 3D Graphics" has been set. I have also tried it without being set. Thinking that it might be something graphics related with Gnome 3.2's gnome shell, I also have booted it into failsafe mode where it doesn't do the compositing and tried that too. Same results in every way I've tested.

Can you please check your for any OpenGL failures?  The logfile should be in the same directory that you installed the playbook images.  

The root cause of this issue is that VMWare is not recognizing your card as 3D capable, which could be caused by having old hardware or bad/out of date drivers.  Please make sure you are using the latest 3rd party drivers that are available for your graphics card.

I looked through the logs before, but never caught anything. This time I did see:
2011-12-07T15:31:27.418-05:00| mks| I120: MKS-SLC: failed to start svga3d vmiop to render 3d.

So that could very well be the cause. I am just using the intel drivers that come with Fedora16. I'll try grabbing the current ones from Intel, and see if I am blessed with luck of getting that to work.

[MavereX]

Intel drivers, I think we've found the issue here its the crappy older intel intergrated graphics chipsets that is probably causing this issue. ugh. 

I've scanned each line on the logs for both and all I can see thats even questionable is from running 1.0.8

[daryl_martin]

Thanks for the logs.  The below line tells me that 3D was disabled in VMWare for some reason.

Have you been able to update the drivers and retest?
