Andreas Pokorny (andreas-pokorny) wrote : vmwares mesa driver fails on mir platform during init

Steps to reproduce:
* install vmware workstation player
* setup an ubuntu image with the zesty iso image for amd64
* apt install mir-demos
* run sudo miral-shell --arw-file --vt 2 -f /tmp/mir_socket
* mir_demo_client_eglplasma -m /tmp/mir_socket

The client application exits and in the terminal output you should see:
VMWare: No 3D enabled (0, Success).

That message is from the mesa vmware driver:

The ioctl seems to complete successfully but yields the wrong result
