VMWare's 3D support is limited, so it will depend. You'll have to have
a 3D card that has supported 3D acceleration in Linux. NVidia cards
with the NVidia binary drivers should work. Not sure what the state of
ATI Linux drivers.

For VMWare, you'll have to enable the 3D acceleration option. Even
with it enabled you'll still be limited in what will work, and it
won't be running at the same speed as if it were running on a native
Windows computer.
