Bug#765490: xserver-xorg-video-vmware: resizing issues
Hi Norbert,
different from the proprietary vmware guest stuff, the open-vm-tools
source does not ship any graphics drivers or other this which are
related to resizing and similar issues.
So I've cloned to bug and reassigned #765490 to the
xserver-xorg-video-vmware package.
*)Drag and drag still doesnt work, but I dont know how to triage the
issue. What happens is that the operation is not registered as DnD, or
atleast that the folder appears to not allow DnD (work from within
the VM)
Possibly some GTK3 changes?
I don't think the DnD problem is actually an issue in
xserver-xorg-video-vmware, so it might make sense to clone the bug
again to reassign this point to gtk/gnome/whatever.
But this is clearly a graphipcs driver issue:
*) Resizing the window (to a somewhat bigger size, no clear threshold
there) will result in a small black window, seems like some X11 crash?
Resizing the window to a small one restores the content. I am not
100% certain abaout it but the system seems to be somewhat unstable
after such an event.
Again not sure where to look, could be either the resizing plugin
(setting a big windowsize through display settings works) or the
vmware video driver
Please discuss the X11 related issues in #765490 and I'll handle the
vmtoolsd issues in #764295
Thanks,
Bernd
