I wholeheartedly believe that if the VMware Workstation development team or the open-vm-tools development team took a Windows 10 computer with VMWare Workstation 12.5.x or 14.x and a 4K monitor and installed Fedora 26 guest OS with 3D acceleration turned on they will see this issue within 10-15 minutes of use. Turning off 3D acceleration is not a workaround the desktop is really unusable if you do that. My workaround is to simply use Fedora 24 as guest OS but eventually that will be a problem because for one reason or another I will need to upgrade. Most modern Linux graphical desktops need it to function properly that's why it's a major issue for me and others because you effectively cannot use VMware Workstation with any late guest OS. Here we are describing a major issue where GNOME, on guest Linux OSes Fedora 25 and Ubuntu 17.04 and newer, will always freeze if you have VMware 3D acceleration turned on.īy default 3D acceleration should always be on. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or mute the I think yours is a different issue. You are receiving this because you were mentioned. I hope the open-vm-tools team can figure out why, in Fedora 25 and newer using XOrg (not Wayland) and I assume Ubuntu 17.04 and newer, there is this desktop freezing issue that makes it impossible to have the guest OSs in VMware. Thanks for the additional workaround may I ask though is this any different or better performing than my workaround where you disable VMware 3D hardware acceleration for the VM? Turning off hardware acceleration in GNOME makes it almost unusable. This makes the system go smoother, but it's by far not the desired solution. However you can enable it for other applications by setting the environment variable to 0 for them.

If I turn off 3D acceleration or not have the VM in full screen (4K) then it doesn't freeze, but this is very inconvenient as Gnome doesn't run well without 3D acceleration. The freezing will occur in both XOrg and Wayland desktop sessions. After a lot of troubleshooting to figure out what is causing the freezing it appears to be due to the 3D acceleration and only in full screen mode. The Gnome desktop will just randomly freeze and I cannot do anything or get control of it without doing a hard reboot of the VM. open-vm-tools and open-vm-tools-desktop (10.1.5-4.fc25) installed automatically and successfully. I created a new guest running the latest Fedora 25, with 2 GB max guest memory for graphics. In the BIOS I've set for the Intel GPU to get the max amount dedicated video memory possible (512 MB). VMware runs on the Intel HD 630 GPU (verified by Nvidia GPU activity monitor never showing VMware process). It uses hybrid graphics between integrated Intel and Nvidia GPUs using Nvidia Optimus with default settings on a 4K display. this particular setup in the video also has 2 PCI graphics cards leaving one available to the host system at all times, i've managed to get this working with using the onboard gfx as the boot device, and assigning the disused PCI gfx card to a VM with success.I have a new Windows laptop running latest Windows 3 and VMware Workstation 12.5.7 build-5813279. You are right to point out that the host loses access to the card when it becomes assigned to the virtual machine, but Linux is able to work completely headless, and remains active even if a graphics card is not present. Here is a video of this feature running on bog standard Desktop Linux/Ubuntu

that this is at least no longer true, from personal experience, linux does in fact support PCI Passthrough as long as the board has IOMMU support in the bios (and respective VTx on the processor), the problem is not the Host system, so much as it is software support, At present, qemu is the only apparent solution that gives you the option for pci passthrough devices, though it is a little fiddly to set up, but fairly well documented online. I know this is an ageing thread, but I feel i need to point out for anyone arriving via google. "In this case the host OS needs to have special support for passing through the PCI card and a non specialized OS like Windows or Linux sadly has no support for that."
