Bug#624794: Please add support for VMWare drivers (vmxnet3 and vmwgfx)
Hi,
As Linux 2.6.33, from http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_2_6_33
>1.12. VMware drivers
>VMWare has contributed two drivers for the VWware Virtual GPU, and for
> the VMware's virtual Ethernet NIC vmxnet3. Thanks to udev, this means
> that Linux guests running inside a VMware host will have optimal graphic
> and network performance out-of-the-box.

vmw_pvscsi was already backported in Debian (thanks), but we need
network and graphic, too. Enabling those in stable kernel will make
some users happier :)
