Re: [suse-linux-e] VMware

Quoting James <bond225@shell2.tiac.net>:

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has tried VMware for linux yet?

Yes, I have installed it. It does work, mostly. It doesn't do what I bought it mostly for, run 1st person shooters in Win98. It doesn't have ActiveX sound and the game can't see that I have an accelerated video card. I'm going to fiddle with it some more. Also the opening chord on Win98 is very choppy. I may put some other Win98 apps I have in and try them out. I was able to install Win98 from the CD and it detected the hardware as advertised. I suspect it is affecting the performance of Linux. Netscape used to just pop up when started. Now there is a noticeable delay. YMMV Jeff
