Yes. Of no use in the host.

In order to play videos as well as possible in the guest (especially flash videos),

1. Should I have Xorg-7.5-3d.tcz on the host?

2. Should I have Xorg-7.5-3d.tcz in the guest together with Xorg-7.5-vmware.tcz?

Ulysses_:
My host has an ATI Mobility Radeon X700.  Is there a better driver than the default with Xorg?

I don't know. Never even tried to play media in a virtualized guest, the idea seems quite wrong to me. The recent acceleration efforts work differently in every VM, you'd need to ask vmware how theirs works.

No. In fact that's the only driver, AMD's official one dropped support for that card over a year ago.

Ulysses_:
In order to make the changes introduced by the vmware installation persistent, /opt/.filelist.lst could be edited.  Below is the list of changes vmware causes as derived using the timestamp method.

Which entries would you delete before copying the rest to /opt/.filelist.lst?
