glxinfo shows the classic r600 driver being used, but current Ubuntu
should use r600g by default. If you built Mesa yourself, make sure you
use lib/gallium/r600_dri.so instead of lib/r600_dri.so.

If the problem persists with r600g, the vmware.log file should say why
3D acceleration isn't enabled for the guest.

vblank_mode=0 glxgears
