  • 1.  OpenGL on Windows 11 LTSC

    Posted Jan 17, 2025 01:34 PM

    Parameters for .vmx:

    mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
    mainMem.useNamedFile = "FALSE"
    mks.enableDX12Renderer = "FALSE"
    mks.enableDX11Renderer = "FALSE"
    mks.enableGLRenderer = "TRUE"
    mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"
    mks.vk.enableVulkanRenderer = "FALSE"
    mks.gl.allowUnsupportedDrivers = "TRUE"
    mks.enableMTLRenderer = "FALSE"

    Host - Windows 11 LTSC.

    CPU: I5 12400F

    GPU: RX 5600XT

    Questions:

    1). Have I correctly set these parameters to fully enable OpenGL?

    2). How can I verify that it is working?

    3). Where will the performance be higher: Vulkan or OpenGL?

    Hi, 

    If you are looking for OpenGL support in guest, we would recommend not to set any of the vmx config options mentioned above, except mks.enable3d = "TRUE". It should give you 3D accelerated OpenGL support in guest. Please let us know if you face any issue.
