I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and VMware Workstation 17.5.2 and the 3D Accelerated Graphics options does not work on the host. Whichever VM I try, whichever OS I try to load, I get the error message "No 3D support is available from the host."

This is my processor/graphics: AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 4750U with Radeon™ Graphics × 16

I am using the latest AMD drivers from repo.radeon.com

I've also installed the mesa-2404 drivers from the App Center.

I followed the instructions here: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-EA588485-718A-4FD8-81F5-B6E1F04C5788.html

glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
    GL_AMD_gpu_shader_int64, GL_AMD_multi_draw_indirect, 
    GL_ARB_depth_clamp, GL_ARB_derivative_control, GL_ARB_direct_state_access, 
    GL_ARB_draw_elements_base_vertex, GL_ARB_draw_indirect, 
    GL_ARB_indirect_parameters, GL_ARB_instanced_arrays, 
    GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, GL_ARB_multi_bind, GL_ARB_multi_draw_indirect, 
    GL_AMD_multi_draw_indirect, GL_AMD_performance_monitor, 
    GL_ARB_direct_state_access, GL_ARB_draw_buffers, 
    GL_ARB_draw_indirect, GL_ARB_draw_instanced, GL_ARB_enhanced_layouts, 
    GL_ARB_indirect_parameters, GL_ARB_instanced_arrays, 
    GL_ARB_map_buffer_range, GL_ARB_multi_bind, GL_ARB_multi_draw_indirect, 
    GL_EXT_direct_state_access, GL_EXT_draw_buffers2, GL_EXT_draw_instanced,

This used to work previously on this same machine, I believe it was on Ubuntu 22.04.

Thank you!

I found the solution with Chat GPT!

sudo nano /etc/vmware/config

Add these two lines:

mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"
mks.enable3d = "TRUE"

3D accelerated now, hopefully this will help someone.
