Unfortunately + there are two problems with this approach: + + 1) Distros now ship without xorg, so the xorg .so doesn't exist and + there's nothing to check. + 2) Distros (e.g. Fedora) do heavy optimizations and remove the .modinfo + section from the .so, so the string cannot be found even though the + driver exists. + + To fix both, stop depending on being able to parse the elf binary of the + xorg driver. Instead, let the plugin check for the existence of the drm + driver with a sufficiently high version, and if it exists, use kms. + This removes the dependency on X for kms. Also increase the version of + vmwgfx required to ensure atomic mode-setting plus relevant bug fixes (in + the kernel since 2017) are available. + +commit c5b510fded54592eae1c5a4a61f8119f69666a3f +Author: John Wolfe +Date: Thu Feb 4 09:57:03 2021 -0800 + + Add a switch to the vm-support script to transfer the support bundle to the hypervisor + + The vm-support script unconditionally transferred the support bundle to + to the VMware hypervisor, thereby filling vmware.log. + This fix changes the default behavior of the Linux and Windows scripts + to *not* transfer the logs to the host. + + Added an option '-x' to both scripts to let the user elect to + transfer the guest support bundle to the host. + +commit f7ddf98958097197468cd153227317cba205a19c +Author: John Wolfe +Date: Thu Feb 4 09:57:03 2021 -0800 + + Add NVMe capability for vmbackup. + + The vmx/vmbackup logic checks if tools/vmbackup can support NVMe.
