VMWare

The latest VMWare has disabled 3D acceleration, which is very annoying...

Apparently there is a known compatability error - Apple mucking things up again

That happened to me, but once I'd updated VMWare Tools (on my late 2008 MacBook Pro) it was re-enabled (on v2.0.5)
Part of the update installs a new VGA driver as I recall ...
Hope you're successful.

From the 2.0.5 release notes...

3D acceleration is disabled on systems with ATI chipsets
Because enabling 3D acceleration on Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with ATI chipsets might cause VMware Fusion to fail, 3D acceleration is disabled in VMware Fusion 2.0.5 on Macs running Mac OS X 10.5.7 with ATI chipsets. You can re-enable this setting when new ATI drivers with the fix are available.

Simon.

Lets hope new ATI drivers come along before hell freezes over...

I believe that VirtualBox introduced 3D accelleration support in v3.0. Its also free to download.

Problem now resolved by Apple's 10.5.8 update, see here

Yes, it is indeed!

I could never get VB working properly on a Mac, for some reason.
