I have installed from the DVD. The vmware-kmp-default was not installed during the install. After the install finished, I enabled the online repositories, and then it appeared as suggested update in yast, and I installed it.
It did not pre-select open-vm-tools though, that's why I was not aware for it's existence. I'll try as soon as possible, and will report back.
Btw, I really agree that these 2 packages should be on the install media, and even pre-selected for install if the necessary conditions are met.
OK, I installed open-vm-tools, and enabled the vmware-guest service.
Now, the behavior is very strange - it kind of works, i.e. the screen is resized, but not the wallpaper and the task bar. So, if I open an application, and resize it to fir to screen, it will cover the whole screen, but the taskbar will sit in the middle of the screen over everything.
As I use KDE4, I guess this has something to do with plasma.
Can somebody confirm, taht vmware-guest works OK with kde3 and gnome, so I can file a bug against KDE4.
Cheers
Actually, it seems more to be the DM than the DE: I tried Gnome, when using kdm4 as login manager... no go. when switching to back to gdm (what's just normal for gnome), everything works. Try maybe switching to kdm or gdm for some tests at yours.
