Hi, i did everything according to this tutorial, and in the end, when i Hit the green button to fire up the virtual machine, it shows the following error message:

Failed to construct 3-D rendering backend. The 3-D features of the display card will be disabled.

I had all the requisites, and my video card is working and direct rendering is activated and all...

Got any ideas?

This was posted on the maplestory topic (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372928) on the Wine board, I guess that doesn't make much sense since it was a VMware topic. anyways, I'm getting the same error as him, though it reads OpenGL somewhere in the error dialog. I did everything listed on the tutorial there, but adding the three lines to the .vmx file makes this error appear, and then I can't play Maplestory (the virtual machine doesn't boot).
when I try running maplestory on VMware (workstation), it just says "DLL class not found". is this the error that appears when Direct3D isn't enabled?
if it makes a big difference, the virtual machine I have was originally made for VMware player, not VMware workstation. I dunno if they have differences between them, but, yeah.

also, i'm trying to play maplestory on a private server, which means it doesn't have gameguard, so it should run on Wine, but it hangs after the Wizet logo...

It simply doesn't work. The 3d acceleration requires pbuffer support which the open-source drivers don't provide - only the Nvidia and Ati drivers have it right now. There is on going to work to implement pbuffer and fbo support for Mesa/DRI but it's going to be a while before you see that in action. Sorry I can't provide better news.

Are you using the open source drivers?

You're lucky anyway, trying to enable d3d for vmware just makes my x server restart :p

I tried installing a flgrx driver but the guide I was using didn't work for Gutsy Gibbons, so I guess I'm stuck. also, I guess I forgot to mention I'm on a Radeon 9200 :(

What doesn't work? I am faaaaaar from being an expert, but I managed to get my x1950 working a few days ago (after many google searches)

everything 3D on native linux works fine, but when I try to enable 3D acceleration on VMware it gives the error mentioned in the quote.
