i am running Ubuntu 11.10 through Vmware worksation 8. when i run Ubuntu, it runs in unity2d, and there are propriety drivers available. is this another optimus conflict? and if so, how can i go around it if optimus doesn't work in vms?

    Uhm.. no you install the Guest Additions of Vmware to have 3D acceleration, has nothing to do with whatever GPU you have. – Uri Herrera Feb 18 '12 at 03:08

    nevermind, apparently vmware currently has no support for unity, for whatever reason. looks like virtualbox it is sigh – nathan.copeman Feb 18 '12 at 05:13
  • Did you mean "discrete card" instead of "integrated card"? Related: http://askubuntu.com/q/82576/6969 – Lekensteyn Feb 18 '12 at 11:59

According to the OP:

nevermind, apparently vmware currently has no support for unity, for whatever reason. looks like virtualbox it is

The problem is with VM Ware and not Ubuntu or the drivers.
