Are you sure that older versions of VMware did not use this vendor ID for its virtual devices? As far as I remember, it has been seen in the wild by several people independently.

Sorry Martin, just saw your comment.
Here's the response I got from my colleage Petr Vandrovec about these PCI IDs:
----------------quote------------
GESP is not ours, for sure. One of SVGAs is ours, first PCI svga was
there before 15ad was assigned to VMware, so it uses 0xFFFE.
As no-one can run product which used 0xfffe anymore (hey, ISA vlance?
even I almost do not remember that), you should probably ask Martin to
change fffe VMWare Inc => Unassigned FFFE, and change FFFE:0710 to
'VMware Virtual SVGA' (I do not think FFFE:0405 ever existed)

Name: VMWare Inc (temporary ID)
Note: Used in some old VMWare products before they got a real ID assigned
As long as the ID is not registered by anybody else, I will keep VMWare as a vendor, but add a note that it's not an officially assigned ID. Also, I will remove all devices except for 0710.
