+
+	* configure.ac: Bump version number.
+	* src/vmware.c
+	* src/vmware.h: (VMWAREScreenInit) Set up the additional
+	state required by the VMWARE_CTRL extension.
+	A src/vmwarectrl.c
+	A src/vmwarectrl.h
+	A src/vmwarectrlproto.h: Add implementation of the VMWARE_CTRL
+	extension.
+
+	This change adds the VMWARE_CTRL extension which allows for
+	an X client to request an arbitrary resolution be made
+	available in the modeline list. The intent here is not to
+	replace XF86VidMode (which, if it would only work, would have
+	made VMWARE_CTRL unnecessary) so we are not providing an
+	Add/Remove functionality. Rather, a single command "SetRes"
+	is provided. This will update one of two special entries in
+	the modeline list with the requested resolution (assuming
+	it's possible given the fixed framebuffer restriction).
+	The client can then use RandR to find and switch to the
+	requested resolution. We need two entries because the
+	server gets confused when asked to switch to a new
+	mode that has the same position in the list as the old
+	mode.
+	
+	vmwarectrl.h and vmwarectrlproto.h follow the standard
+	pattern for extension headers and can be dropped into any
+	client side project that wishes to call the extension -
+	although it is probably of very limited use to non-VMware
+	clients.
