I'm using VMW WS 15.5.6 on Mint 20: got stuck on white chromium screen. Alpha helped me in the telegram channel (thanks!) and suggested I add a line to the vmware preferences and that resolved the issue. Here's the step by step, might want to add with the build instructions in case someone else runs into this.
Symptom: Chromium won't boot, stuck in white screen. VMWare Workstation reports that 3D drivers can't be used.
Solution:
Shutdown VM
nano .vmware/preferences
copy this line into the file. I added it as the second line.
mks.gl.allowBlacklistedDrivers = "TRUE"
Restart VM to test
Thanks for the project! Really appreciate the time and effort you've put into making this available!

Hey I actually don't understand what are you meaning.
1)What does "nano .vmware/preferences" mean?
2)And in which file i should add those lines?
** And if possible,would you kindly upload your edited version in some cloud platform eg.(g. drive,dropbox) and give me the link? Because man, i am facing the same problem for a long time now and i am literally frustated.
Nano is a text editor on Linux. The VMware file for Linux is saved in a hidden directory and thus starts with a period. If you're using another operating system, you may need to research where the preferences file is kept. If you don't mind, once you resolve that add a note back to GitHub for everyone else. I added that line to the end of the file called preferences.
