Hello Carlos,
At first thank you for your response.

It is a virtual computer, and during installation of VMWare-tools I was asked for resolution and I selected 1024*768. I cannot find in the BIOS setting any size of memory for graphics card which could have an effect as in computers with shared graphics card. Could you tell me, where in my protocol is written something about detection of GA.
Sorry, what is GA? Well, from the logs it appears it is using a plain VGA or SVGA card, and those are quite limited: (--) PCI:*(0:15:0) VMware PCI SVGA (FIFO) rev 0, Mem @ 0xf0000000/27, 0xe8000000/23, I/O @ 0x1400/4 (II) VMWARE: driver for VMware SVGA: vmware0405, vmware0710 (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:0f:0 (--) VMware Guest X Server 10.4.0 - build= (--) Chipset vmware0405 found (II) Setting vga for screen 0.

PS: I need this ancient linux to continue in development under Kylix3.
CER> But you will then have problems deplying your program, no?
The best would be, if Borland would continue with Kylix3 support or at least it would release as opensource as they did with Interbase. I will get with it at least more stable environment than I have now. I use for Kylix3 SuSE 9.3, but it hangs during simple writing of code in its editor.
I don't think you will have much luck with Borland, and that's a pity. However, there is a "clone" named Lazarus which you might find interesting at least. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_%28software%29 http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/ I don't know how complete or compatible with the "original" it is. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
