I'll attach my full kern.log, but here are some useful information: % grep -i vmwgfx /var/log/kern.log Sep 4 11:40:18 resist kernel: [ 7.393370] [drm] Initialized vmwgfx 2.4.0 20120209 for 0000:00:0f.0 on minor 0 % glxinfo | grep -i open OpenGL vendor string: VMware, Inc.

No hit from the reboot today, and the use of llvmpipe clearly shows that the module isn't getting loaded by default. >Have you made any external updates to VMware or OS/X ? No. I'm still running Fusion 4.1.3 (build 730298) though I am considering upgrading to Fusion 5.0 which was recently released. Host is running OS X 10.6.8. >Also please try 'grep -i vmwgfx /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules*' % grep -i vmwgfx /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules* /lib/modules/3.5.0-13-generic/modules.dep:kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko: kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm.ko kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko Binary file /lib/modules/3.5.0-13-generic/modules.dep.bin matches /lib/modules/3.5.0-13-generic/modules.order:kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko ** Attachment added: "kern.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039157/+attachment/3294921/+files/kern.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-vmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1039157 Title: vmwgfx kernel module not loaded by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1039157/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
