Thanks very much, but I've tried what you suggest and it simply didn't work for me. I may well be that vmware won't work with my video card. To make it worst, vmware doesn't support my Logitech mouse and says that because of that it won't run in full screen mode! My wife and kids use 98. When I ran vmware it screwed up my 98 display settings which I had to repair when they booted 98.
That's strange, because I haven't set any hardware configurations for Windows. If I boot into 98 using VMware it picks up the VMware VGA driver and if I boot normally into 98 (which hasn't occured in a long time) then it picks up the correct display driver. In Settings > Configuration Editor there is an option under "Mouse" to either autodetect or specify; mine is on autodetect, but I'm using a MS PS/2 mouse and it works fine.....which doesn't really help you a lot.
I looked at the vmware web site and their suggestion for working with vmware on a physical disk involves setting up two windows configuration files, one for booting 98 for real and the other with vmware. As best I can tell this requires having to choose the configuration each time I boot 98. That's why I gave up and tried installing on a virtual disk
See above comment about hardware configuration and Win 98. Which version of VMware are you running? We'll sort this one out yet =) Cheers Matt -- Matt Wong matt.wong@intelligroup.co.nz Senior Basis Consultant Intelligroup New Zealand Mobile: +64 25 710 233 http://www.intelligroup.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
Thanks. I just returned from vacation last night and plan to try this again later this week. It is odd that I'm having problems that others don't report. That's why I wonder if vmware doesn't like my Matrox G400 video card. The vmware folks maintain some newsgroups, perhaps I can get some help there. To answer your question: I'm running version 1.1.2 that came on the SuSE 6.3 distro. On Tue, 21 Dec 1999, Matt Wong wrote:
