Comment 4 for bug 1319885

this patch:

drm/vmwgfx: correct fb_fix_screeninfo.line_length (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/1/41)

introduces a regression in vmware video drivers widely reported here: https://communities.vmware.com/message/2388776

i also reported it here against xserver-xorg-video-vmware here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-vmware/+bug/1328898

in the mean time, it would be nice to get a rollback.
