This is due to the following change:
\nhttps:\/\/www.spinics.net\/lists\/kernel\/msg4768993.html<\/a>
\nChristian K\u00f6nig (9):
\n………
\ndrm: remove dumb_destroy callback<\/p>\n

Kernel Patch:
\nhttps:\/\/github.com\/torvalds\/linux\/commit\/96a7b60f6ddb2bc966fac800c1dd18876a6e3c3f<\/a><\/p>\n

A ‘nasty hack’ (see caveat above<\/em><\/strong>) is to just remove (comment out) the reference to nv_drm_driver.dumb_destroy<\/em><\/strong> in NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-530.41.03\/kernel\/nvidia-drm\/nvidia-drm-drv.c<\/strong>
\nThis then compiles OK, and seems to run with no problems (tested on Fedora 38 with KDE, running VMware Win11 guest)<\/p>\n

VMware 17.0.2<\/strong> with the patchset from\u00a0 https:\/\/github.com\/mkubecek\/vmware-host-modules\/tree\/workstation-17.0.2<\/a> is OK…<\/p>\n

More changes to come, and hopefully some proper<\/span> patches….<\/p>\n
