End users shouldn't have to go through all these steps once the driver is

included in newer Linux distributions.

Fedora 18 and Ubuntu 12.10 include the VMware guest GL driver, for example.

Note: some distros put DRM kernel drivers in different directories.
|
||||
For example, sometimes vmwgfx.ko might be found in
|
||||
<code>/lib/modules/{version}/extra/vmwgfx.ko</code> or in
|
||||
<code>/lib/modules/{version}/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx.ko</code>.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
After installing vmwgfx.ko you might want to run the following command to
|
||||
check that the new kernel module is in the expected place:
|
||||
<pre>
|
||||
find /lib/modules -name vmwgfx.ko -exec ls -l '{}' \;
|
||||
</pre>
|
||||
If you see the kernel module listed in more than one place, you may need to
|
||||
move things around.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Finally, if you update your kernel you'll probably have to rebuild and
|
||||
reinstall the vmwgfx.ko module again.
