 |
|
Hi. I've installed Gentoo as guest OS in VMWare 4.5 for a friend of mine to see if he could throw away windows and use linux as main OS...
The host OS on this system is Windows XP SP2 and we've installed and compiled gentoo with kde and all sorts of goodies, it works.. But we've got a really annoying problem..
When we start X it takes a long time for it to start, much longer that whats normal.. one minute or something.. And when we quit X it takes 5 minutes for the command line to appear again..
This happenes both with "vmware" as driver in xorg.conf and with "vesa" as driver in xorg.conf.
After I installed vmware-tools the "vmware" driver didnt even work..
Anyone knows what this can be?
Another problem is that if the terminal goes to blank screen and I try to wake it up it just keeps being blank, I can access the computer via SSH and every time this happenes the process "events/0" uses almost 100% of the cpu..
Hope someone can help us with this problem
EDIT: Actually, it takes more than 5 minutes to log off KDE.. its up to 40 minutes and counting.. still not logged off.. Just a blank screen, and it doesn't help to try switching terminal with CTRL-ALT-Fx |

If events/0 is taking all the CPU time, your kernel is probably not working correctly, or VMware is throing lots of interrupts.
Run | Code: | | cat /proc/interrupts |
to see which driver is causing it and find a fix for it, or disable it.
If its not the interrupts problem, you are probably not using the vmware acceleration correctly. Verify that it works with a knoppix disc or something first, and if the problem does not exist there, re-install the vmware tools and drivers. Your kernel must be compatible with the vmware drivers if you want acceleration. |
