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.
