No, everything works here normally. Using either qemu 2.4.0
or qemu git master.

Only getting lots of qemu messages when scrolling:

vmsvga_update_rect: update height > 768 (y: 112, h: 768)

but everything seems to be fine.

Can you show me your .properties of the vmware
display? Everything is fine with other VGAs (cirrus, std)?
