How to enable 3D in VMware Player?

I want to test Unity in a VM using VMware Player. I have already enabled 3D acceleration in the Display options and I have VMware Tools installed. However, when I try to run Unity or when I try to enable effects in appearance menu, it doesn't activate. Jockey says there is only one video driver available, which is enabled already.

I don't want to use VirtualBox.

Solution 1:

I do not think VMware Player supports OpenGL 3D for linux as yet. Linux support may come in future versions [probably the next one]. Compiz will definitely not work.

Only Directx windows runs on full throttle. Compiz-windows-clones[so called] work neatly.
