Description
New minor version
Probably needed for xorg-server-1.19 (Ken?)
xf86-video-vmware is an Xorg display driver for VMware's virtual SGA device.
This release provides support for adapting to a desktop configuration
(read VMware GUI configuration) exposed using drm connectors rather than using
RandR12+. Since this is the way gnome-shell/Wayland adapts to a desktop
configuration this driver can coexist with an auto-fit multimonitor VMware
gnome-shell/Wayland configuration and therefore enables future open-vm-tools
versions to expose GUI configuration changes through drm connectors at
system start-up time without using the xorg driver as a proxy.
It also contains a compilation fix for ABI 23 from Hans de Goede.
This driver is targeted for new distro releases with X coexisting with
gnome-shell/Wayland. Although it's been fairly well tested there might be
regressions and therefore it's not suitable for LTS-type release updates.
Hans de Goede (1):
Adapt Block/WakeupHandler signature for ABI 23
Thomas Hellstrom (11):
vmware/vmwgfx: Expose kernel connector attributes and react to hotplug events
vmware/vmwgfx: Add missing includes of the config.h header.
vmware/vmwgfx: Update RandR output properties on hotplug events v2
vmware/vmwgfx: Add a layout handler v2
vmware/vmwgfx: Avoid filling the log with modeline printouts
vmware/vmwgfx: Read the implicit output status from KMS if available.
vmware/vmwgfx: Disable autolayout if we detect an old resolutionset
vmware/vmwgfx: Don't require screen objects to run
vmware: Bump minor to signal availability of new features
vmware/vmwgfx: Add a missing source file for distribution
Bump minor for release.
