VMware 3D acceleration won't work.

I finally installed VMware with help from some forum members, but now I have a problem: the 3D acceleration doesn't work.
It gives an error that says: No 3D support is available from the host. Can you help me solve this problem?

Is that error from a guest or from vmware on the host ?

The host VMware gives that error, next to the device icons on the statusbar.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VMware … us_and_AMD indicates vmware is changing from OpenGL to vulkan for 3d accel .

Please install vulkan-tools and post the output of

$ vulkaninfo --summary

Note: The problem was that it was falling back to OpenGL from Vulkan, due to the radeon driver being used instead of amdgpu.
