It looks like the logs you are posting are from a physical host running the modesetting driver on top of an intel kms driver. That's AFAIK not a VMware supported configuraion. Nevertheless you shouldn't see any rendering corruption caused by the VMware drivers in the guest. Could you post the

OK, So I tried to debug this on 17.04 with the mir demos. What happens is that while the Mir server seems to run fine, when the EGL mir clients import a surface from the mir server (using fds / prime) they typecast the XRGB surface from the mir server to an ARGB surface, which the svga gallium

Chris, perhaps you can help me a bit by explaining here: The buggy package in Ubuntu 12.04.5 that was on the installation iso and that I rebuilt locally with the fix before filing the bug was called mesa-lts-trusty. How does that relate to this package? Thanks, Thomas On 10/01/2014 02:04 PM,

The problem is I can't verify the bug is fixed in trusty because it doesn't show any obvious symptoms. This is probably due to different stack ordering of local variables compared to the trusty stack on precise. The only way to verify the fix is in the trusty stack on precise where the bug is

[Impact] A user might find Ubuntu 12.04.5 unusable on vmware because he would face a black screen after logging in. Although there is a workaround (disabling 3D) a user may have given up at that point. Backporting will help the user run the distro after upgrading, so I believe it's highly

OK, So I've finally been able to do a bit of testing with Ubuntu 14.04 If run without 3d support on llvmpipe, it's very CPU-hungry. A bit more so than Ubuntu 13.04 AFAICT. For Ubuntu on VMware this becomes troublesome primarily on ESX, but the problems were introduced with the drop of Unity 2D. I

Hi! The 12.04 vs 14.04 compiz issue indeed seems fishy. I can't even get compiz from 12.04 to start on my 14.04 system. I'll double-check with VMware QE. However, the issue is, according to our testers present when running in 3D mode on ESX (on a slow llvmpipe-based GPU), but I guess in that

Yes. we were aware of the Unity2D vs Unity3D difference. However, there *is* 3D support on vmware (although sometimes slow) and part of the problem is that also with 3D enabled, Ubuntu 14.04 is slower than with 3D enabled on12.04, although we haven't quantified that yet, and we assumed that any

Hi! Thanks. I think we need to discuss this internally first. The reason is that sometimes the virtual GPU is backed by a fast physical GPU. Sometimes it's not, and it's only in the latter case there is a performance issue, in the fast case, we'd want all effects enabled. And also when the GPU
