   I don't really know if my hardware box does 3D or not. I don't have the   
   proprietary driver for the AMD video card, so it either runs slower or   
   some features are off. But this way I don't have to bother installing   
   external drivers.   
      
   I can play Tux Racer. I can play flightgear. I understand those two   
   games use 3D.   
      
   However, vmware complains that "there is no 3D available from the host",   
   and thus, clients do not have 3D. I installed a virtual machine with   
   openSUSE Leap 16.0, which is wayland by default. There is no graphical   
   mode, it crashes. I forced "legacy" X mode, and it works fine.
