+<p>
+With the August 2015 Workstation 12 / Fusion 8 releases, OpenGL 3.3
+is supported in the guest.
+This requires:
+<ul>
+<li>The VM is configured for virtual hardware version 12.
+<li>The host OS, GPU and graphics driver supports DX11 (Windows) or
+    OpenGL 4.0 (Linux, Mac)
+<li>On Linux, the vmwgfx kernel module must be version 2.9.0 or later.
+<li>A recent version of Mesa with the updated svga gallium driver.
+</ul>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Otherwise, OpenGL 2.1 is supported.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+OpenGL 3.3 support can be disabled by setting the environment variable
+SVGA_VGPU10=0.
+You will then have OpenGL 2.1 support.
+This may be useful to work around application bugs (such as incorrect use
+of the OpenGL 3.x core profile).
+</p>

 <p>
 Most modern Linux distros include the SVGA3D driver so end users shouldn't
 be concerned with this information.
