I posted too soon. I thought I had a good understanding of what was going on, but my testing since then has revealed that I can reproduce the performance degradation of VMware using multiple versions of xserver-xorg-core, and, I have been able to successfully run VMware without performance degradation using the latest update of xserver-xorg- core. This indicates that xserver-xorg-core is likely not to blame for the dramatic, recent slow-down of VMware Server performance.
Please accept my I apologizes. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4_i386.deb significantly degrades performance of VMware Server 1.0.1 https://launchpad.net/bugs/57790 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
