Title:
Default rules fail to set PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY for vmwgfx driver
Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Ubuntu 13.04
175-0ubuntu26
The default 78-graphics-card.rules does not set
PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 for devices using the vmwgfx driver (from
the open-vm-tools package). Several other drm subsystem drivers are
special-cased here (i915, radeon, nouveau). This causes a misleading
failure message in the boot log, such as:
* Starting load fallback graphics devices
[ FAIL ]
caused by /etc/init/udev-fallback-graphics.conf erroneously trying to
modprobe vesafb because it thinks that no graphics driver has been
successfully loaded. The VM does still function properly, this bug
just causes a spurious error message.
Adding a rule for vmwgfx similar to what already exists for other
drivers fixes the issue.
