--- Comment #1 from Andrew Engelbrecht <sudoman@ninthfloor.org> ---
i am having this problem in debian sid with linux-image-amd64 3.13+56.

i added vmwgfx to /etc/modules, trying to follow the instruction to load the
module at post, from here:

    http://www.x.org/wiki/vmware/vmware3D/

however, that only gives me the bug earlier than Michael.

Hi!

The vmwgfx kernel module does not support devices without the pitchlock
capability. Sorry. In that case you need to use the xf86-video-vmware driver
standalone without kernel modesetting.
