Linux Acces Host GPU for Debian Guest

Nishu

Adept
Hi guys iam fairly new to linux but i did learn a lot of things about linux so iam familiar with linux functioning,architecture and its cmdline interface.


I installed Debian Squeeze which i upgraded to wheezy recently.

My Specs:
----------HOST--------------------------- ---GUEST
CPU : AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE ----- 2 Cores used
RAM: 4gb corsair --------------------------1 GB used
GPU: AMD HD 6850------------------3-D acceleration enabled
Successfully installed vmware-tools

As u can see my config is good enough to run vmware based linux OS yet my debian is sluggish sometimes.
So i disabled Nepomuk which improved performance considerably.

I changed some appearance setting and i can see some stutter and high cpu than usaual.

can u guys plzzz help me to run my debian machine without any issues.

Can graphics driver improve performance?
Does VMware setups allow AMD driver installation?

when i used
Code:
$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
Code:
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: VMware SVGA II Adapter [15ad:0405]

My VGA card was not listed instead some SVGA card was listed which is related to VMware.
Because i tried to install AMD drivers but i failed in all attempts so i reverted back to xorg.
