3D Deceleration In VMWare

There should be an image here!It’s like ATI sucks no matter what these days. Trying not to point directly to AMD here, but having 3D effects broken can prove to be a real bummer no matter how you slice it. To make matters worse, it is an OS X update that is creating grief for VMware users.

It seems that OS X 10.5.7 uses an ATI driver that translates into massive problems with 3D acceleration, slow performance, to incorrect rendering, and even crashes when using VMWare Fusion.

Until this issue is resolved, those who need to use 3D effects in VMWare are being told to hold off on the update for the time being. The alternative for those who really want the OS X update are told that they can indeed, simply disable 3D acceleration in VMWare. It’s not a fix, but it is a usable work-a-round for the time being.
