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

[Joseph Salisbury]

This issue appears to be an upstream bug, since you tested the latest
upstream kernel.  Would it be possible for you to open an upstream bug
report[0]?  That will allow the upstream Developers to examine the
issue, and may provide a quicker resolution to the bug.

If you are comfortable with opening a bug upstream, It would be great if
you can report back the upstream bug number in this bug report.  That
will allow us to link this bug to the upstream report.
