Hello,
Thank you for looking at my post,
I'm having a problem with Xorg 6.8.0-r1 not working properly in VMWare running on Windows XP Pro. I'm running VMWare 4.0.0 Build-4460 and have installed the vmware-tools that are included with VMWare in gentoo running kernel 2.4.26-gentoo-r9, and added it to my runlevel.
vmware-tools compiled the "vmhgfs" module, which is set to autoload in my /etc/modules.autoload/kernel-2.4
Here is what my runlevels look like:
| Code: |
apmd |
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
crypto-loop |
cupsd |
domainname |
esound |
famd |
gpm |
hdparm |
hostname | boot
hotplug | default
keymaps | boot
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
metalog | default
modules | boot
net.eth0 | default
net.lo | boot
netmount | default
nscd |
numlock |
portmap |
rmnologin | boot
rsyncd |
serial | boot
sshd | default
urandom | boot
vixie-cron | default
vmware-tools | default
xdm |
xfs |
xprint |
|
I have added the DefaultDepth for 24 and have specified mode 1024x768 in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf however it fails to start xorg in that resolution, seems to always start it in the default window for VMWare. I'm running Framebuffer at 1024x768 and it shrinks down to start xorg and then resizes itself once I CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACK the X session.
Here is what my /etc/X11/xorg.conf looks like:

Also this is what vmware-tools states when I run /etc/init.d/vmware-tools start.
| Code: |
Stopping VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Guest operating system daemon: done
Guest filesystem driver: done
Starting VMware Tools services in the virtual machine:
Switching to guest configuration: done
Guest filesystem driver: done
DMA setup: done
Guest operating system daemon: done

If anyone has any ideas on what could be causing this problem, and has a moment to sit down and reply I would greatly appreciate it, I would love to have Gentoo running on VMWare..
Thank you for your time.
