Hello,
what puzzles me is VMWare as OpenGL vendor: am I wrong or does it mean
that you have installed Debian as a VMWare guest?
If it is the case, I do not know VMWare at all, but I think there is a
form of passthrough for your graphic card, VMWare recognises it as a
Radeon (not a generic card) but by default 3D acceleration (DRI3?) is
disabled in VMWare and you have to enable it on your VMWare host.
Debian Testing is for testing a possibly broken Debian in order for the
contributors to build the next stable release without bugs. It is not
really for testing new functionnalities
