Comment 17 for bug 1157196

Yeah it took me a while to find them. I was mainly looking for the source because mesa has a svga driver which supports 3D on vmware and I'm not sure if the precompiled libraries come with it. If you google "RAOF mesa git" you find the source code for mesa that includes the support for mir.

I got all of that so I knew I had the right libraries (compiled with mir platform support). What really helped me is when I figured out you could run ldd on executables. At any rate, the clients were still crashing. I was on the #ubuntu-mir channel and RAOF said that vmware is not yet supported because vmware itself does not support dma which is required of mir. I think they said they were going to develop a fallback mode but this has not been implemented yet so I guess we'll just have to wait.

I was hoping to propose some new features but to make a makeshift demo first. I'm trying to get that working in drm now.
