Brought up several times in our forums and elsewhere over the past few days has been VMware's Gallium3D driver that they use for guest 3D acceleration on their proprietary virtualization platform.
Compared to Oracle's VM VirtualBox graphics acceleration support that is quite slow for OpenGL and often unreliable or the limited attempts at OpenGL QEMU acceleration, VMware has a rather nice acceleration architecture built atop Gallium3D. Using Gallium3D at the heart of their graphics driver implementation across platforms shouldn't be surprising though since they bought out Tungsten Graphics in late 2008 and its these Mesa / Gallium3D drivers now developing VMware's graphics stack.
This document does not claim to be complete, nor does it claim to be exact. The reason I wrote this document is because I got stuck with setting up SAProuter on a DMZ, with a couple of firewalls. So I collected as much information as I could find and crafted this document so I would have a reference.
Working with some other people on the issue(s) it appeared that I was not the only one wandering in the dark, so I decided to release the document to the world for everybody to shoot at. So shoot, and help to make this document better and more complete.
This document is based on tests done with SAProuter running on Debian GNU/Linux and two Debian GNU/Linux firewalls.
