If you have ImageMagick installed, you can batch-convert them, execute this from terminal:

cd <path_to_your_xrebirth_steam>/extensions/egosoft_orange_cursor
for f in *.cur; do fn=${f%.*}; convert -background none $f ${fn}.png; done

This means software OpenGL implementation. AFAIK, both VMware and VirtualBox have means to use your host GPU for hardware-accelerated OpenGL, look it up. However, it still might not work for the game, but at least worth a try.jth wrote: OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.

Spent some more time on the problem with VMware workstation player 12 and a brand new install of Ubuntu 15.04 and managed to applyCulunTse wrote:@jth:
VmWare is cool but virtualised 3D acceleration is HARD. It's available in some of the paid products, and possible in some of the free ones, I'm not too familiar with it.
The technical term you want to look for is "paravirtualised" GPU or passthrough graphics. This basically means you "steal" the GPU from the main system, and assign exclusively it to the VM.
There are also "guest mode" drivers, and I thought VmWare was working on something called "Virgil" (virtual gl) though that may be another vendor too.
Maybe also try VirtualBox, it tends to have more open source support.
Hope that helps, even if it's just a bunch of random pointers. It would be pretty cool if you could get it to work!
I have posted the instructions in the orginal thread as I didn't think that you wanted several feet of instructions cluttering up this oneCulunTse wrote:Congratulations on getting it to work jth!
Needing the "Guest additions" make sense, they're the 'drivers' for virtual hardware.
The slowdown in first run sounds like the compiling of the shader cache. That always happens on the very first run, regardless of OS. (It's probably been so long ago on Windows for you that you don't remember )
I'm curious about the bear traps, but mostly for other people's sake, since I already run Linux on bare metal.
It could be very useful to other mod developers!
