RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

This is a generic "please update vmware driver for 6.4 release" bug. I'm actually not sure what the "update" should be because from what I've been told the version numbers of Mesa3D and the kernel haven't been set for the 6.4. 
VMware's driver depends on those: Mesa >=8.0 and Kernel >=3.2 mean vmwgfx driver (accelerated graphics) and everything else means vmware legacy driver.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Latest possible release of xf86-video-vmware 


Aditional info:

With Mesa3D >= 8.0 and Kernel >=3.2:
 - the SVGA driver and the libxatracker from the Mesa3D repository should be compiled as well
 - the vmwgfx drm driver from the kernel repository needs to be added
 - the latest release of the xf86-video-vmware driver should be used

Without the required Mesa3D/Kernel versions, the xf86-video-vmware can be just upgraded by itself (it won't provide 2d/3d/video acceleration in this case).
