Hmm... I'm still skeptical that this code path is even touched. Thomas Hellstrom is removing the write to BYTES_PER_LINE in any case, because it is a read-only register.
The most decisive test would be to log entry into this function call, like I said in my last message, but that would really only prove that the bug isn't because of my patch, not necessarily help to isolate the actual cause of the split screen issue. > Can you please add a logging statement in the kernel to function > vmwgfx_fb.c::vmw_fb_check_var() ? E.g. > printk( KERN_INFO "fb_fix_screeninfo.line_length CODE PATH TRAVERSED\n" ); Thanks for all of the help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-vmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1328898 Title: VMware guest video broken by the 3.2.0.64 kernel update Status in “xserver-xorg-video-vmware” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: See detailed discussion here on the VMWare board: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2388776 I can confirm that downgrading to 3.2.0.63 works, and booting into 3.2.0.64 causes the "split screen" issue.
