Once you have the  correct setting you know how to test for....try create
/etc/modprobe.d/drm.conf perm 644
contents
options drm debug=something

add etc/modprobe.d/drm.conf to your /opt/.filetool.lst

remove the blacklist ....the file under .X.d and the .local/bin/drmconfig file

--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.conf
# /etc/modprobe.conf: Modprobe config file.
#
options drm debug=0x1b7
tc@box:~$ sudo cat /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug
0

What am I doing wrong here?

What I thought I was showing with this is that the parameter set (or not in this case) in modprobe.conf was not being picked up by modprobe. I apologize for the confusion. My question still stands, why isn't modprobe picking up the parameter in modprobe.conf?

I'm using a gradient set in ~/.setbackground:


--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
hsetroot  -add "#1B79B8" -add "#AF77CC" -gradient 0
[ $(which wbar.sh) ] && wbar.sh

--- End code ---

It would be nice if I could cause this or something like this to run when the resolution changes so I don't get a tiled gradient. It might be helpful if when the wallpaper dialog creates this script that it insert a second line something like "# Created by TC Wallpaper app date/time"

Some pressure testing blew a gasket. After a few cycles of the monitors FLWM just went away. I didn't find a dump anywhere. This got me thinking that the dialog moving issue isn't from vmware_drv but from flwm not liking all the resolution changes. Any way to start flwm with debug or tracing?

libxatracker is from the last version of mesa to support it - mesa-24.1.7 - (the xatracker code in mesa was supplied by vmware)

xf86-video-vmware is from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-vmware last (cosmetic) commit 25/07/12

i.e. it's not going to get any better than that for the moment - would you like me to post the extensions, or would you like to continue testing?
