Description

VMware.pm is currently setting the following values in .vmx files by default:
mks.enable3d = "TRUE"
svga.yes3d = "TRUE"

Although the VM seems to operate correctly with these settings enabled, I have encountered a problem attempting to hibernate a VM with the setting enabled and migrate it to another host. On the destination host, the VM will not power on. Disabling the 3D settings prevent the problem from occurring.
