The three most important extensions (for me at least) from 4.2 & 4.3 of the top of my head would be GL_texture_view, GL_ARB_shader_image_load_store and (* Something of an understatement, Regal's code is quite clever in itself and tries to emulate these features in as efficient a way as possible). still use the 2.1 & earlier fixed-function pipeline) or that make use of the Direct State Access extension API, both of which Regal emulates. The primary reason to use Regal on the Mac would be to share code with platforms that use a GL 3.2+ Compatibility context (i.e. Regal merely (*) wraps the platform OpenGL and provides API compatibility for a minority of OpenGL extensions that can be supported by emulating them using the existing platform's features. I am trying to setup Fusion 8 to support OpenGL 3.3 under guest Ubuntu 15.10 (date 9/28, with Mesa 11.0.0).Regal will not enable you to access OpenGL 4.2 or 4.3 hardware features that aren't supported by Apple's OpenGL.

I have spent the last 24 hours pouring over the internet and I have figured out how to make this work.ġ.
#Osx opengl 4.3 for mac osx
OSX OPENGL 4.3 FOR MAC OSXĪlthough vmware hasn't publicly stated this anywhere, I did find a forum post where a vmware employee said that opengl 3+ support is disabled for Mac OSX 10.10 and below because of driver bugs. Also if you have to upgrade your vmware software to fusion 8.0 or better. There is no support for OpenG元+ in versions of fusion prior to 8.0Ģ.
Download a fresh copy of Ubuntu Linux 15.10. This is key, although it is possible to upgrade to 15.10, when I tried to do so, I broke my installation. If you want to avoid a headache, just start from scratch.
Also you must use Ubuntu Linux 15.10, this is because the repository which will upgrade your drivers no longer offers support for Linux 14. (I'm sort of lying here, they offer support for 14.04 and 14.04.01 but not 14.04.02 and later, just get 15.10 thought ).ģ. Boot Ubuntu Linux 15.10 in Fusion 8 using easy install, I don't think you can really screw this step up, but just stick with whatever options they give you.Ĥ.
#Osx opengl 4.3 install
Once Ubuntu Linux 15.10 has completed installation, wait for the software updater to popup and install any necessary upgrades. Now make sure everything has been updated by running They will ask you to reboot, so reboot linux.ĥ. $ sudo apt-get upgrade & sudo apt-get dist-upgradeĦ. Now go to virtual Machine > Settings > Compatibility. Make sure you are using at least hardware version 12.
