Description Thomas Hellström 2016-11-17 09:31:17 UTC

Description of problem:
With the default gonme-shell/Wayland desktop, autofit and multimon doesn't work with Fedora 25 as a VMware guest

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-20161113.n.0.iso

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora 25 Live as a virtual machine in VMware.
2. Change the VMware GUI size or enable / disable multimonitor cycling.
3.

Actual results:
The Fedora gnome-shell / Wayland desktop doesn't resize or/and expand to multiple monitors.

Expected results:
The Fedora gnome-shell / Wayland desktop should resize or/and expand to multiple monitors.

Additional info:
VMware is working on a fix for this. There are two components of that fix.
1) An update to open-vm-tools. Currently it's not yet decided when this will be released, but I'll post updates to this bug.

2) xf86-video-vmware 13.2.1 just released. Enabling support for the updated tools, So please, Fedora maintainers, upgrade to this version as soon as possible.

Problem could be related to open-vm-tools-desktop package.

When starting command vmware-user-suid-wrapper got following error message:

vmware-user: could not open /proc/fs/vmblock/dev

With latest update of open-vm-tools-desktop and kernel, this should be resolved now.
