booting kernel with the following patch http://pastebin.com/NBeRfwYJ and running "dmesg | grep fb_fix" comes back empty, so vmw_fb_check_var is not invoked.
however, in my setup there is a reliably reproducible link between changes to info->fix.line_length and the split screen issue: comment out info->fix.line_length changes => everything's fine, put them back in info->fix.line_length => "split screen" on boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328898 Title: VMware guest video broken by the 3.2.0.64 kernel update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-vmware/+bug/1328898/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
