--- Comment #8 from Thomas Hellström
(In reply to Thomas Hellström from comment #5)
So I installed OpenSUSE Leap 42.1.
Under Xorg everything looks like I expect, from what I can tell,
after running "sudo zypper install gnome-shell-wayland", I still can't get a gnome wayland session, according to the logs that's because gnome-shell doesn't accept the --wayland flag and exits immediately. Any info on how I can get around that is appreciated.
In any case, could you describe the procedure to reproduce this with Xorg? * what you are doing (the command run etc.) * what you expect to see * what you are seeing.
This issue pertains to Wayland only.
Now I'm getting slightly confused. In comment #2 you state that it affects both Xorg and Wayland.
Unfortunately open-vm-tools does not yet support resolution switching with gnome-wayland. It requires both kernel support and support to open-vm-tools and I have as of today no information as to when or if this will be supported.
In that case I request that you add full support for Wayland.
Your request is noted.
That said, using the gnome-shell "displays" tool should allow you to manually select a resolution from a list of default built-in resolutions.
The list of available resolutions under Wayland is wrong. The list is populated with non-existing resolutions, while the actual resolutions are missing.
Since I can't start Wayland under OpenSUSE Leap, I'm not able to reproduce this. Under Fedora 23 the list mimics the kernel list of preconfigured modes, and manual mode-switching works fine. Could you perhaps provide a screen-shot? Also what do you consider "non-existing resolutions" and "actual resolutions"? The reason I'm asking is that typically the kernel provides a list of "standard" resolutions only that may or may not be perceived as relevant. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
