How to fix 3d rendering for a Windows guest in VMWare Workstation 11 Ubuntu 14.10 host ​

Hi all!

Getting a message when you start your Windows guest in VMWare Workstation 11 hosted by Ubuntu 14.10?

I was, and I had a little trouble finding a fix, until finally it worked!  it's simply a matter of upgrading to the latest OpenGL drivers in Ubuntu.

To install open a terminal window and enter

WP_CODE_PLACEHOLDER_0

To remove, you can use ppa-purge

WP_CODE_PLACEHOLDER_1

Now when you start your Windows guest, it should no longer complain about 3D acceleration!

That's it!  If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reply!
