Hello,
I finally got the 3D support working with Knoppix 7.0.5 in a VMware virtual machine guest
and the VMWare tools. Please find below the link to the vm data zipped:

It is actually quite nice to see a video playing on the compiz cube rotating smoothly and
live with the mouse without taking too much processing power when inside a VM guest.
Please provide some feedback. Happy New Year 2013 !
Gilles

PS: I used the following script to make it work:

Incorrect link ? it's point to minirt_k704.gz

[Blacksimon]

downloaded manually copying http://s94002264.onlinehome.us/grub/k705/minirt_705.gz in a new empty browser tab. But archive format is not recognized!

[ruymbeke]

Hello Blacksimon,
The archive is a gzipped cpio format and is typically used for Linux ramdisk boot images.
To read it's content you may try the following commands: gunzip minirt_705.gz; cpio -ivu --no-absolute-filenames < minirt_705
Thank you very much for your feedback and help in providing the correct link. It is now also updated in my original post.
For some reason the cut and paste of previous posts does not always work as expected, especially with links content.
Best Regards,
Gilles

Thank you, all works fine.
