Comment 5 for bug 698009

Speaking as a VMware developer who worked on the vmwgfx drivers before, I'm not sure it makes sense to do this while the kernel driver is guarded by CONFIG_STAGING and the userspace drivers aren't enabled by default by VMware Tools.

At the very least, this should probably require a more specific rationale for why the drivers[0] should be enabled, and some feedback from people who actually use Ubuntu in VMs as to whether the new drivers are a net win.

[0] Note that just enabling the kernel vmwgfx driver will at most affect console, the vmwgfx drivers from the Gallium tree are also needed otherwise.
