>Description:
I have rolled back x11-drivers/xf86-video-vmware to 11.0.3 because of an issue with 12.0.2.

When you log into the system via xdm, it will work for the first session. 
But, when you log out, the mouse pointer disappears and an "Unable to map mmio BAR" message is shown in Xorg.0.log.

(From my recollections, this issue isn't seen when starting X via startx.)

I have contacted the driver authors, but have not received a reply yet.

>How-To-Repeat:
To reproduce:
 
1) Start xdm running in the VM.
2) Log into an X session.
3) Log out.
>Fix:
The attached patch reverts the port back to 11.0.3, and I have contacted the driver authors.
