Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your test kernel (and thanks for upload the jammy hwe version of it too)

I can confirm this kernels gives me video output in VMware Fusion 13.0.1

No error on vmwgfx startup:

To double check, I reinstalled the latest 5.19 HWE kernel for 22.04 and double-checked I could reproduce the issue in the archive:

Thanks a lot for the fix and looking forward to seeing it in jammy-updates :-)
