On certain virtual machines, Fusion provides support for accelerated 3D graphics.
Full OpenGL 3D Acceleration for Xen/Vmware/Kvm. With all the news about Vmware Fusion and Parallels upcoming 3D acceleration capabilities there hasn't been much about the free software projects work in this area. Introducing VMGL, which provides OpenGL Hardware 3D Acceleration for Virtual Machines. For those who might not have studied the history of VMware, the hypervisor stack in Fusion shares much of the same code as the stack that runs in the majority of the world's data centers: ESXi, which itself was created from breaking apart the internals of VMware Workstation into it's functionally discrete components: Storage, Networking and Compute.
On virtual machines running Windows 7 or later, Fusion supports DirectX 11 with Open GL 4.1. Hardware version 18 is required.
On virtual machines running Windows XP or later, Fusion supports DirectX 9.0c with Shader Model 3 and OpenGL 2.1 accelerated 3D graphics.
On virtual machines running Windows Vista or later, Fusion supports DirectX 10 with Open GL 3.3. Hardware version 12 is required.

On virtual machines running Windows 7 or later, Fusion supports DirectX 10.1 with Open GL 3.3. Hardware version 16 is required.
On virtual machines running Linux, Fusion supports OpenGL 4.1 for accelerated 3D graphics. Hardware version 18 is required. Linux kernel and Mesa 3D versions that support 3D accelerated graphics are required.
Shut down or power off the virtual machine. You cannot change these settings while the virtual machine is powered on or suspended.
Procedure
Vmware Fusion Free Trial
- Select Window > Virtual Machine Library.
- Select a virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Library window and click Settings.
- Under System Settings in the Settings window, click Display.
- Select the Accelerate 3D graphics check box. The version of DirectX supported by your hardware version is displayed.
- Select the Battery life menu item from the drop-down menu. You can select the option to use high-performance graphics for 3D applications only to conserve battery life. You can select the menu item to always use high-performance graphics, but this selection results in shorter battery life.
- Select the shared graphics memory item from the drop-down menu.

With all the news about Vmware Fusion and Parallels upcoming 3D acceleration capabilities there hasn't been much about the free software projects work in this area.
Introducing VMGL, which provides OpenGL Hardware 3D Acceleration for Virtual Machines. It is a program that you install in both the host and guest and allows for virtualizing the OpenGL functions. When tested in xen with Quake 3 & Unreal Tournament 2004 it provides for up to 87% of the performance of the native implementation. It has been tested under vmware and xen but it should work under any of the other virtualization solutions out there. (kvm, qemu, virtual box)

This is major news for the virtualization field as 3D acceleration has been the one area where there has not been much progress. As this is a generic solution released under a BSD licence it can be incorporated into any of the current virtualization solutions. Also it is gpu independent and will work with any OpenGL accelerator.
