Title:
vmwgfx kernel module not loaded by default
To manage notifications
@Barry,
Was there a prior kernel version that did not have this issue?
I see that the vmwgfx driver is configured to be a module in the kernel config
file:
config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_DRM_VMWGFX=m
Can you also attach your /var/log/syslog file?
One additional request, can you test the latest
Barry - its not clear if the attached kern.log in comment #11 is after
you've added vmwgfx to /etc/modules. At any rate, that module is getting
loaded about 20 seconds into the boot:
[ 20.863814] [drm] Initialized vmwgfx 2.4.0 20120209 for :00:0f.0
on minor 0
The vmwgfx module is a PCI

Yes, but I can't remember exactly which version this broke on. It definitely
worked all through 12.04 and in 12.10 up until whatever upgrade I happened to
do on-or-about
FWIW, the 3.6.0-030600rc4-generic kernel seems supremely unhappy. No
graphics at all.

I tested a few of the older mainline kernels going right back to 3.4.0,
and vmwgfx fails to auto-load on all of the ones I tested.

Rebuilt kernel with the above patch, I can confirm that vmwgfx does get
loaded by udev now on boot.

Also, shouldnt this be filed against the kernel? its not a problem with
the Xorg driver, but the kernel drm driver.

I am seeing this as well, while its not a huge issue on a desktop
system, as can easily workaround via adding to /etc/modules. Its a big
problem on the LiveCD's that fail to load vmwgfx (even if I pass in
loadmodules=vmwgfx, via grub boot options)

You received this bug notification because
A couple of other observations
`modinfo vmwgfx`, does not return any modalias' for this driver.
I can't see anything in any of the logs to even suggest that the kernel
made any attempt to load vmwgfx.
