I had Claude Code generate this patch so I could run Omarchy in a VMWare virtual machine. Without the fix, all I see is black screen. It is currently working but I have to re-apply the patch after every Omarchy system update.
Claude originally identified the issue as a Hyprland bug but after further digging, it's really in vmwgfx. However Mesa has coded around it and I also had a Hyprland fix that worked as well. It seemed the best place to fix it was vmwgfx.
