Title:
Request to enable vmwgfx driver in kernel config
Status in Do:
Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Hello,
VMware would like to have own "vmwgfx" DRM kernel driver enabled by
default in distribution kernels to improve customer experience.
In Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 1, we noticed that the Ubuntu kernel disables
the vmwgfx driver.Currently, the vmwgfx driver is stable and is
shipped since kernel 2.6.37-rc4.Please change the kernel configuration
from Ubuntu 11.04 Alpha 2 onwards so that "vmwgfx DRM kernel driver is
compiled as a module (CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX=m). The driver has to be
compiled as a module to allow our installer detect that the driver is
being supplied by the distribution.
Thanks,
VMware QA Team
