Package: linux Serverity: important Tags: patch Hi,
As bug#714929, there's a regression in Jessie kernel too, changes with CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX, display driver for VMWare. http://sources.debian.net/src/linux/3.2.65-1/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig/ config DRM_VMWGFX tristate "DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU" depends on DRM && PCI && FB select FB_DEFERRED_IO select FB_CFB_FILLRECT select FB_CFB_COPYAREA select FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT select DRM_TTM help Choose this option if you would like to run 3D acceleration in a VMware virtual machine. This is a KMS enabled DRM driver for the VMware SVGA2 virtual hardware. The compiled module will be called "vmwgfx.ko". http://sources.debian.net/src/linux/3.16.7-ckt11-1/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig/ config DRM_VMWGFX tristate "DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU" (snip) config DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON depends on DRM_VMWGFX && FB bool "Enable framebuffer console under vmwgfx by default" help Choose this option if you are shipping a new vmwgfx userspace driver that supports using the kernel driver. config DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON is splitted from config DRM_VMWGFX, in somewhere during 3.2 and 3.16, and then should be enabled by default. But it is not in Jessie kernel, so it seems to be a regression. This makes unusable with VMWare workstation/fusion Debian guest OS console, so set severity important. Please enable it as attached patch for point release. Its tiny and prorbably would not have any wrong side effect. diff -urN linux-3.16.7-ckt11.orig/debian/config/kernelarch-x86/config linux-3.16.7-ckt11/debian/config/kernelarch-x86/config --- linux-3.16.7-ckt11.orig/debian/config/kernelarch-x86/config 2015-04-15 04:18:22.000000000 +0900 +++ linux-3.16.7-ckt11/debian/config/kernelarch-x86/config 2015-07-25 17:10:58.315868367 +0900 @@ -497,6 +497,7 @@ ## file: drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig ## CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX=m +CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX_FBCON=y ## ## file: drivers/gpu/vga/Kconfig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
