[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1037606] Re: vmwgfx does not work with kvm vmware vga

[Andrew Engelbrecht]

i am also having this problem on amd64 debian sid, using:

    qemu                            1.7.0+dfsg-5

on the guest system, i'm also running sid:

    linux-image-amd64               3.13+56
    xserver-xorg-video-vmware       1:13.0.1-3+b1

i added vmwgfx to /etc/modules, trying to follow the directions here
(aside from using VMware Play, etc.):

    http://www.x.org/wiki/vmware/vmware3D/

however, that only gives me the bug sooner than Michael.
