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. git tag: xf86-video-vmware-13.2.1
