After upgrading xorg-server to 1.7.0.901, I found that I can't start X server in vmware any more. I checked /var/log/Xorg.0.log, it said: ..... (II) LoadModule: "vmware" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so (II) Module vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.0.901, module version = 10.16.8 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0 Then the file ended. So I think the problem is xf86-video-vmware. It makes X server crash. I removed it and start X server with vesa driver, then it works again. Additional info: local/xorg-server 1.7.0.901-1 (xorg) X.Org X servers local/xf86-video-vmware 10.16.8-1 (xorg-video-drivers) X.org vmware video driver

(that would show up in the display manager's log file if you're using one)
Created attachment 30446 [details] GDM debug mode output
I ran gdm in debug mode manually and got an output. I post it as attachment.
I ran X manually and got this error: X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vmware_drv.so: undefined symbol: LoaderRefSymLists I recompiled the driver and still not worked. Any hints?
Created attachment 30980 [details] [review] Remove references to long deprecated loader symbols Does this patch fix the crash?
Yes, it works!
Michel, can I commit this as-is? Does the removed code in the patch need to be #ifdef'ed? Thanks
(In reply to comment #8) > Does the removed code in the patch need to be #ifdef'ed? Not sure, but I suspect so.
I also have exactly the same bug. Basically I've not been able to use VMWare for over a month now... when will this be fixed? :( It is pretty severe.
Fixed in xf86-video-vmware 10.16.9.
