I have a ASUS Zenbook UX31A and recently I've felt the need for VS2013 so I installed VMWare Workstation 10 because of it's Unity feature.Things have gone crazy since I made so many attempts in order to get this 3d acceleration enabled.It still shows me "3d acceleration is not supported".
Things I tried:
mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"- Installing missing libraries like
libtxc-dxtn-s2tc-bin - Installing Intel drivers
- driconf -> forced s3tc
But I still can't get 3d acceleration, despite many tries. I just don't understand what goes wrong.
