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
