I have VMWare 2.0.2 installed with Xfree 4.0.1 and have had no problems. VMware is adamant about the installation of VMWare Tools in the guest window to best "talk" to the X Server. But once this is done, I had no problems. All this assumes that XFree 4 is working properly, with no glitches on the host system. 3. Another tip would be to set VIEW in the VMware virtual window to AUTOFIT before starting; it seemed to work better if it could determine its own window size. 1. VMWare should not affect the host system at all. If the host system works properly, so should VM. For ease of install, use the configuration wizard, decide if you will load the guest system via floppy or CD or both. Make sure that they both will load properly before Power On, i.e. don't have a cd loaded and mounted in the host. Loaded is OK, but not mounted. If it is, the CD will not be available to VM. Good Luck. Ed Harrison SuSE 6.4, Kernel 2.2.16, IBM JDK 1.1.8 (20000713) PBM 1.1.18
