The default 78-graphics-card.rules does not set PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 for devices using the vmwgfx driver (from the open-vm-tools package). Several other drm subsystem drivers are special-cased here (i915, radeon, nouveau). This causes a misleading failure message in the boot log, such as: * Starting load fallback graphics devices [ FAIL ] caused by /etc/init/udev-fallback-graphics.conf erroneously trying to modprobe vesafb because it thinks that no graphics driver has been successfully loaded. The VM does still function properly, this bug just causes a spurious error message. Adding a rule for vmwgfx similar to what already exists for other drivers fixes the issue.
