I downgraded my VMware player to 12.1.0 build-327244 i use the open-vm-tools package 2:10.0.7-2ubuntu1

I still cannot switch from single to dual or tripple. When i try this i get the following error in my kern.log:
###########
May 12 16:56:29 DEV08 kernel: [ 4968.928257] [drm:vmw_sou_crtc_set_config [vmwgfx]] *ERROR* Multiple framebuffers not supported

The weird thing is, i could copy this from my ubuntu guest to my windows 7 host. The other thing that is weird, afther i try this, my mouse is 50% off, it seems that the mouse capture assumes dual screen instead of single screen. when i click the "single" screen button in vmware player everything goes back to normal.

I installed a second (clean) VM with ubuntu 16.04 for testing and it had exactly the same issue!
