regression is caused by a this patch applied with the 3.2.0.58 ->
3.2.0.59 update which happened between -64 and -65 (LP#1319885):
drm/vmwgfx: correct fb_fix_screeninfo.line_length
rolling back just that one patch fixes the issue.

Hi cedricg91,
While I don't have a Windows 7 PC handy, I have tested using the
following two host environments.
* ElementaryOS (VMWare Player 6.0.2 build-1744117 / 3D acceleration OFF)
* Mac OS X Mountain Lion (VMWare Fusion 5.0.4 1435862 / 3D acceleration ON)
With each of these host environment
Hi Chris.
my host is a custom distro derived from Ubuntu with custom 3.13 kernel, guest
is a plain 12.04 x64.
i have performed steps 1-6, this is how i isolated your patch:
1) sudo apt-get install linux-source-3.2.0=3.2.0-63.95
2) make -j3 deb-pkg, this produces linux-image-3.2.59_3.2.59-0_amd64
Hi chrisfriedt,
I have the same issue on Ubuntu 14.04 host.
I found this issue on VM created with an older version of vmware player
(version 5.0.x) that generate VMs in version "Workstation 6.5-7.x
virtual machines". This issue is still present even if I use these VMs
with the lastest version of
removing (commenting out) vmw_write is not enough, the following patch
still produces "split screen" output. http://pastebin.com/FYJEULF3
and to confirm what cedrig91 is saying - yes, my VM is also quite old.

Chris, Rojer,
On my Ubuntu 12.04 VM (3.2.0-64-generic kernel) I deleted
/lib/modules/3.2.0-64-generic/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmgfx.ko and
display seems to work fine now. There is no split issue and the screen
resolution is dynamically configured (I have VMwareTools-9.2.2-893683
installed).
Hmm... I'm still skeptical that this code path is even touched.
Thomas Hellstrom is removing the write to BYTES_PER_LINE in any case,
because it is a read-only register.
The most decisive test would be to log entry into this function call,
like I said in my last message, but that would really onl
booting kernel with the following patch http://pastebin.com/NBeRfwYJ and
running "dmesg | grep fb_fix" comes back empty, so vmw_fb_check_var is
not invoked.
however, in my setup there is a reliably reproducible link between
changes to info->fix.line_length and the split screen issue: comment out

I added a logging statement in the kernel to function
vmwgfx_fb.c::vmw_fb_check_var() using the following patch :

Not sure atm, but you might need to remove "quiet" from the boot args to
see KERN_INFO messages.

Oh dear...
It seems like we're narrowing it down at least, but it definitely seems
to be limited to older VMWare versions and possibly only Windows hosts.
@cedricg91 would you be able to follow up with Thomas Hellstrom's
request for a VM image? In fact, would you be able to just put it up
