Hi Ian. Thanks for following up on this. If it's not too much bother, would you please be able to provide the reasoning for this being expected behavior? It seems odd that vmwgfx is presenting incorrect resolutions to the guest, especially 4096x2160 which exceeds the maximum physical resolution of the monitor and that this was working correctly prior to kernel 6.8.0-44.44. vmwgfx still supports the correct resolutions given the workaround option 1 that uses vmwgfxctrl to manually set the correct resolution. vmwgfx just isn't detecting the correct resolutions by itself.
Also, for what it's worth, as an additional comparison a Windows 11 guest doesn't exhibit this behavior and allows 3840x2160 to be selected. Not that I'm suggesting Windows should be used as a benchmark in general, but sometimes maintaining consistency may be desirable? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2081803 Title: kernel >= 6.8.0-44.44 vmwgfx regression in Ubuntu 24.04.1 Desktop VM guest (VMWare Workstation Pro 17.5.2/17.6) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2081803/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
