Hi,
my freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 VM under VMWare Workstation Player 14.1 running on Windows 10 suffers from ridiculously slow graphics performance.
For comparison, my old Ubuntu 16.04 VM (which I had originally installed under VMWare 12.x and has kept the same format) works much better:
OLD Ubuntu 16.04:
$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
10.2.0.1608 (build-7253323)
$ x11perf -all
700000000 reps @ 0.0000 msec (157000000.0/sec): Dot
NEW Ubuntu 20.04:
$ vmware-toolbox-cmd -v
10.2.5.8049 (build-8068393)
$ x11perf -all
30000000 reps @ 0.0002 msec (4140000.0/sec): Dot
I remember having the same issue with the old machine when I first installed it 4 years ago, but I can't remember what I had to do to get this fixed, perhaps it was the "Accelerate 3D graphics" flag but I can't be sure after all these years.
Accelerate 3D graphics checkbox is ticked on both machines, and vmware-tools is installed on both.
Any ideas what I might be missing?
Thank you!
