Hi, i have a macbook unibody 5,1 with 2.4GHz, 2 GB memory model. I use VMWARE FUSUION 2.0 to install a virtual machine of Ubuntu 8.10. But when i try installing the compiz fusion on it, it doesn't work. I think it may be resulted from lacking the appropriate graphic drive of Geforce 9400M. I didn't find the drive of linux version in Nvidia official website. And i also follow the instructions in Ubuntu documentation page to try searching it in the System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and cannot find any available driver. Any idea to solve this problem? Thanks!!!

VMWare does not support 3D Acceleration for Linux guests.
