VMware GPU acceleration for freeBSD

A

AliM13

Hello.

How can I enable hardware acceleration on freeBSD 13 ? I installed xf86-video-vmware now I got full screen window but it doesn't have hardware acceleration.

when I look to the details section of my gnome(42) desktop , it shows "software rendering" in graphic section. everything is glitchy and no animation.

but for example in fedora, it shows SVGA 3D in graphic section and animations works.

I also tried to use vmgfx on freeBSD 12.3 stable but it is broken. according to their GitHub, it causes kernel panic and deprecated.
 
vmwgfx should not be "deprecated" as there are really no other options, but it needs a developer interested in making it work, yes.

well, it causes kernel panic. also the developer himself said he is not gonna maintain vmwgfx anymore.
